Ofcom UK Reveal 5 Winners of Superfast 4G Mobile Broadband Spectrum

Looks like Vodafone went and spent a fair bit to get as much bandwidth as possible.

Interesting that 3 and O2 pretty much ignored the 2.6GHz spectrum also. You'd think they want some of that for better coverage.

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.
