"Here's some good news for those of you who use a mobile phone as your only phone, communication industry regulator Ofcom has plans to make calling 0800 numbers free from mobiles as well as landlines."

"When Everything Everywhere laid down its challenge to Ofcom at the end of February, saying it wanted to use its 1800MHz bandwidth to launch 4G in the UK before the end of the year, there couldn't have been many people who expected the regulator to let the network's plans pass without interference."

"Vodafone and O2 have levelled criticism at Ofcom's handling of the upcoming 4G spectrum auction and have warned of further delays in the process, according to a report by Mobile News."

"Have you had enough of reading about all the sparkly new 4G LTE phones arriving in the USA? It has been especially hard during CES, with US-only phones such as the Nokia Lumia 900 and the HTC Titan II all offering cutting-edge tech, along with data speeds we can currently only imagine."

"When Everything Everywhere initially announced its plans to introduce a 4G LTE network in the UK before the end of 2012 (and ahead of Ofcom's spectrum auction), the communications regulator gave competitors until 17 April to register any complaints."

"If there's one thing that we can call take away from the rollout of LTE and HSPA+ networks in the USA, it's that calling them 4G sells handsets. Right now in the UK, we've got (for the most part) a fully functioning 3G network, but our next generation is still some way away thanks to all sorts of wrangling between Ofcom and the carriers."

"Up until today, we've been watching the advancement of 4G LTE technology in the USA with envious eyes, as we continue to endure delays regarding Ofcom's spectrum auction that will enable networks to offer such a service here."
