A guide to going mobile
Article Abstract:
Purchasing a mobile phone may appear to be relatively inexpensive, but advertising generally fails to make potential purchasers aware of the real costs involved. It is vital to realise that it will be necessary to enter into a long-term contract when purchasing a mobile phone, so it is worth considering the phone itself, the network and tariffs before purchasing. Furthermore, the purchaser must realise that connections are not always reliable, with a significant proportion of calls failing to connect or being cut off.

Channel 5 going live
Article Abstract:
The UK's new freely-available television station, Channel 5, will have to adjust televisions and VCRs in 90% of homes which are likely to experience interference before it will be permitted to begin broadcasting. The company is planning to visit 9.6 million homes, and will operate a team of 7,000 retuners. It may also be necessary to make adjustments to equipment such as camcorders, video games and cable and satellite decoders.
