500,000 kids to get mobile phones

This isn’t crazy, this is sick! I JUST got my first cell phone at the age of 14- which I admit- is young- BUT AT 10!? WTF?

“Half a million kids in the UK under the age of ten will have a mobile phone by the end of next year, according to research published by market intelligence outfit mobileYouth.

Today, one in nine (400,000) children aged between five and nine has a mobile phone. In 2000, the number was less than 80,000.” [The Register]
