LTE: UK 4 mobile operators formed a company to speed up to 800MHz.
The UK’s four mobile network operators have formed
a company to speed up the deployment of the 800MHz frequency band
vacated by the Digital Switchover.

Regulator Ofcom announced early October that the spectrum, which will be used to roll out LTE services will be made usable earlier than planned, following peace talks between the UK government and the nation’s operators.
Following those talks, Everything Everywhere, Telefónica O2, 3UK and
Vodafone have formed Digital Mobile Spectrum Limited, a
jointly-controlled company. It will be responsible for ensuring that
consumers continue to receive clear Freeview TV signals following the
launch of in the 800MHz band.
“Creating the company now will further accelerate the rollout of
competitive 4G services next year,” Ofcom said in a statement. “It will
be funded by the successful bidders for 800MHz spectrum in the
forthcoming auction.”
The regulator added that provisions exist to make sure that if any
other party acquires some of the spectrum in the auction, they can
immediately become a shareholder in the company.
IT industry veteran AndrewPinder CBE has been appointed to act as interim chairman of Digital Mobile Spectrum Limited.
