06/10  T-Mobile's Web 'n' Walk starts in the UK too

T-Mobile hopes to win back customers with fast web service
T-Mobile's Web 'n' Walk service, which will be backed by a multimillion pound TV advertising campaign this month, allows customers to access the general internet through a portal that is headed with the Google search engine. They will be able to surf the web, send email and carry out e-commerce transactions exactly as if they were sat in front of a computer.

"It's the open, high-speed internet the way you already know it, the way it works on your PC, just mobile," explained Mr Obermann, who predicted that over time mobile internet usage could overthrow the traditional access model of a PC connected to a fixed line phone socket.
