To date, there is only one major 3G network (called 3) which
is notable for being awful (it doesn't give you real internet access,
merely a walled garden of their own approved content). Not surprisingly,
3 has moved to selling their service on cheap voice calls. Hardly the
promise of 3G. I think another mobile provider has recently started
rolling out 3G, years after they scrambled to get on the bandwagon that
was as insubstantial as the hard vacuum of space.

Go with Vodafone. We've had them up and running for a couple of
years now and public for a year. You can get a data card or phone so you
can get 384kbps mobile for proper internet access. Don't think they've got
any RBSs on the IOM yet though! Sorry, I'll have to look at the expansion
plans.

As far as I know, Orange, O2 and T-Mobile have all got 3G networks
up and running - possible one of them hasn't gone public yet IIRC.

The 3G license thing was just rediculous.
