    Retards

    So they removed analogue as an option and then, when everyone went for the sole remaining service, claimed this makes digital more popular?

    I say again. OFCOM. Retards.

    Of course it is a moot point to consider if a country is actually advancing if the inhabitants spend more of their time watching TV, gossiping on the phone, watching YouTube, playing online games and the like rather than actually doing something...

    US Texts

    Does that include texts sent via IM? My friend uses AIM and sends thousands of texts every month through AIM (unlimited package naturally) so that would do pretty well to up the average text per person to 108.

    Have you seen any Japanese TV?

    Its not surprising they dont want DVR's - Japanese TV is, on the whole, utter trash - variety shows and such like. I'm sure if they had some compelling content like El Beeb occasionally puts out, the Japanese would be all over DVR tech.

    Paris - because she needs a good DVR'ing

    Whew...

    For a moment there, I misread the title as "Ofcom leads..." when it should have been "Retarded Ofcom claims..."

    And 34% of UK residents have £50+ DAB radios. Yeah right.
