The popularity of well-known search engines indicates that web surfers out of habit acquired while working with a personal computer use familiar search engines. A large audience at mobile operators' portals among UK subscribers indicates that the efforts of UK operators to improve navigation on their portals have been justified. By the way, there was not a single site in the rating in the .mobi zone, which is designed specifically for mobile sites, and in fact their number exceeded 500 thousand.
