Peak rate calls hit new height
A telecoms company has put Mount Everest on the 3G mobile network.
Ncell, a subsidiary of Swedish telecom company TeliaSonera, has set up seven stations in the Himalayas, allowing thousands of climbers and trekkers in the region to get online and make video calls.
The highest is at 17,000ft, near the base camp used by climbers tackling Mount Everest.
