• B: But in 1999 one mobile phone was sold in the UK every four seconds, that there would be more phones in the UK than there are people.
• C: When the government introduced more competition, companies started cutting prices to attract more customers. Cellnet, for example, changed its prices, and relying instead on actual call charges. It also introduced local call tariffs.
