(keitai-l) 90% of UK children have mobile phones

Here's an article that appeared without comment in both WAPNews and 
EuropeMedia, and on the imode_group mailing list.  I wonder what the market 
penetration is in the 0-to-2 year-old demographic?

A report by Sheffield Hallam University in England found that nine out of 
ten children under the age of 16 own a mobile phone, and 10 per cent of 
those children talk on their mobile for more than 45 minutes a day, despite 
unknown health risks.
             One year ago the Stewart Group investigated the health risks 
associated with mobile phones and warned that the use of mobile telephones 
by children for non-essential calls should be discouraged.
             Almost half of the children said that they would listen to 
advice from mobile telephone research reports.
             Only 11 per cent of those surveyed believed they had been 
affected by radiation from their mobile telephones, most of those stating 
that headaches were the main complaint.
