> 02 Charges £950 for two hours TV on Mobile
Bookmark topic
Watching television on his mobile landed one O2 customer with a bill of almost £1,000.
source
"Michael Schaefer, 46, an IT specialist from Ealing, west London, was charged £950 in just four days by O2 after using his 3G phone to view TV for just two hours."
After a lengthy letter to the operator, complaining that he was not aware of the charge and arguing that he was simply taking advantage of 3G technology, O2 eventually waived his fee."

It doesn't surprise me in the least. I bet he spent hours on the phone to them.
