A bit more and a pretty accurate wiki on 5G here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Yes 5G is a long way off yet. O2 need to get the mass congestion sorted out before they lose all credibility.

I have a number of large charities in Scotland as customers and most use Android but shifting to Windows Phone.

 

Provided they use an MDM solution, there are very few security issues, and remember that WP is second only to BlackBerry in security and is now used by several Police forces as well as being authorised for Government use.

 

I know a few organisations on EE paying £5.00 for all you can eat. Spend a lot of time complaining about the signal, but money talks.

Sorry, got to disagree about using an MDM solution. There is VERY little that can be set for Windows Phone via MDM, basically you can enforce a passcode, device encryption, disable the SD card, set a Wifi network and email/Activesync settings. Most companies, particularly in the public sector, want to ensure not only that any data stored on them is secure but be able to carry out other functions such as to deploy and manage apps or audit use.  There just isn't the ability (yet) to do anything else with this OS through MDM. 

 

Personally I don't think there's enough that can be done to manage, secure and restrict use of iOS with an MDM solution, even after supervising devices with Apple Configurator! Users can just go in and delete MDM profiles or disable VPN!

 

CESG has approved Windows Phone 8 for remote UK Government use but even in their guidance it names problems with such as a lack of application whitelisting and being unable to control the Wifi or Bluetooth interfaces.

 

EE won the national tender for NHS Scotland so you'll find most of the NHS phones in Scotland are on EE because of that.

I suppose it really depends what you/they are looking for from MDM.

Also think you'll be pleasantly surprised by WP8.1.

And yeah, I know EE's head of public sector for Scotland. They're quite proud of the win haha. Nearly went to work for him!

Sure he wasn't meaning LTE-A or "4.5G" which should give circa 300mbps?

I believe there are plans to roll out to businesses in London soon. Requires specific LTE-A routers as it'll melt pretty much everything currently out there.
