Mobile matters - O2 plc's latest Corporate Responsibility report.
In just two decades, mobile communication has grown from a niche market to become an essential part of everyday life, used by more than two billion people worldwide. But does the mobile industry meet the challenges and responsibilities that accompany this growth? O2's report explores this, and other, important questions.
