Operators Need to Bite the Bullying Bullet , 160 Characters, 13th December 2007

The mobile phone is an intensely personal device, that is carried by most people everywhere they go, even leaving it turned on beside their bed at night. By the age of 15, almost every child in the UK has a mobile (94% of all 13-15 year olds) and 23% of three to six year olds in the UK use a mobile phone. Likewise in Italy 31% of 5-13 year-olds have mobile phones and nearly 100% of 14-18 year-old.
