So the countdown begins.
Interesting the difference in 3G auction price in Germany to what they got for 4g let's hope the UK follows suit spending 10% on 4g means more left for the infrastructure

It won't be silly money again as the competition is now reduced to what is 4 major companies. I really hope they do ensure the coverage is equal over the entire country. Just give me 3G where I am and I'm happy
Though I'm of the opinion that when launched, it will be the start of the two-tier mobile data structure. Look out for more interesting ways of filtering content based on your phone and tariff!
