UK gives Everything green light for 4G

Superfast mobile broadband is to be launched in the UK later this year after T-Mobile and Orange got the green light to run 4G services.

Everything Everywhere, which owns the brands in the UK, has gained a head-start on rivals because regulator Ofcom has ruled the firm can use some of its existing spectrum prior to an industry-wide auction of 4G airwaves in 2013.
