Ofcom announce the 4G auctions bidders
Interesting not to see Virgin in there as they were running some 4G trials.
BT are in the mix via Niche Spectrum Ventures Limited.
I was kinda hoping for a surprise from a a big name fixed line ISPs but it seems they aren't interested.
B Sky B have The Cloud.
TalkTalk operate an MVNO
So I guess they consider the fix line market a core technology for another generation at least.
Going forward with fibre, the speeds will certainly beat 4G but 4G does bring down the latency on mobile connections. It'll be interesting when there is a mature 4G network in place, we might see more and more people willing to forgo a fixed line to save costs.

HD Voice - UK operators
Wow, we still haven't got wide spread availability of 'HD Voice' and we're fast approaching 2012.... Then again the UK looks set to be one of the last European countries to jump on the 4G bandwagon as well.
I hadn't looked at this for a bit but just did a quick check and its good to see that Three jumped on board this year to join Orange with availability but it would seem other operators are still dragging their feet.
Probably the upgrade is costly or they are concerned about the disparity when their customers fall outside a 3G coverage area (required on both HD Voice handsets in order to function).
The magic phases you want to look out for our:
HD Voice,
G722.2
AMR-WB
Anyway, for more info, check out the Wikipedia link:
