Data traffic will grind to a halt unless more capacity is added to mobile networks

You can't argue with that, but who's the woman?

I think the idea is that she's on the net with her phone, but frankly, it looks like she's a prostitute at first glance :oops:

My phone network has no problems right now. I have been able to stream TV and radio over it, though that might change over time. Most of the time my phone is connected to my wifi network so I have not been effected by such limits.

I'm not sure how you get that :?

You have to give her credit for an attempt at colour coordination.

I meant your very first impression, cos she's standing there on her own on a street corner. Thinking about the colour, maybe it's subliminal BBC branding :lol:

That says more about you than about her :lol:. if I saw a woman looking quite dressed up on a street corner looking at her phone, I'd assume whoever she was there to meet had just stood her up...

I thought that, but my network went slow and so I used 3G rather than wifi. 99% of the time it streams via wifi.

Again, very first impression, woman on a street corner - I hadn't even noticed what she was wearing at that point :lol:

I agree she initially looked like a ho but second viewing makes her look forlorn.
