A Continental Research survey (no link) asked people to name UK mobile operators. The results:
- 67% Orange (no surprises there)
- 54% Vodafone (though can anyone spell it?)
- 47% BT Cellnet (now called O2)
- 33% One2One (now called T-Mobile)
- 24% T-Mobile (£100m budget)
- 20% O2 (£150m budget)
Unsurprisingly, the mobilecos in question are disputing the findings.

Related: FT's article on preventing/managing "super-distribution" of MMS content, which points out that only content owners are hurt if operators allow subscribers to pass on MMS content [via BBJ]. ... Which actually misses the point of MMS (and SMS): the market for subscribing to content will be miniscule compared to that for creating and passing on camera-phone pictures, person-to-person.
