EE's storming rollout of 4G across the nation continues at a record pace, even if its subscriber numbers aren't quite as rocketing. Congratulations to Barnsley, Chorley, Coventry, Newport, Preston, Rotherham, Telford, Walsall, and Watford as you're all now 4G-enabled. That brings the total to 37 towns and cities across Britain covered by EE's LTE network. Read More >>

EE's CEO Olaf Swantee has shared some interesting stats at MWC today, which certainly make me feel better for not using my full 8GB each month. According to EE, 25 per cent of their 4G traffic comes from customers watching videos, with 11 per cent of those being YouTube videos. More stats to nibble on, below. Read More >>

Qualcomm has announced something that will make travellers everywhere very happy: a new radio chipset that can support every LTE network in the world. Read More >>

Yes, this is it folks. The auction's over after 50 rounds of bidding, and now the networks have up until midnight tonight to fork out the collective £2.3 billion odd in cash. But who won what, and how much? Seems Vodafone was on a full-on 4G crusade. Read More >>

It looks like EE's much-hyped 4G network has failed to capture the hearts, minds and 24-month contracts of the nation, with its latest set of financial figures showing that new contracts at the end of 2012 actually fell compared with the previous quarter. Read More >>

Clearly forgetting that his company is currently bidding for an enormous chunk of 4G spectrum in the UK, Vodafone's chief exec Vittorio Colao has described 4G as being for "freaks" and claims he's not yet seeing any impact from EE's early doors launch. Colao said: "I haven't got reports of customers flying away to 4G," adding "The kind of people who are going for it are technology freaks." [Guardian] Read More >>

EE's progressive 4G network rollout is continuing at a rapid pace. It's just switched on LTE coverage in nine more towns, and now it's committed to delivering the blazing speeds of 4G to 27 more towns across the UK, including Oxford, Blackpool, Milton Keynes, and Guildford. Read More >>

Three's just done something totally awesome for the UK's 4G roll out. It's come out and said on-record that it'll make 4G LTE available at no extra cost to its customers. You'll be able to get 4G from Three on any of its existing or new plans without having to pay any more to go faster, and that's awesome. Read More >>

Following EE's 1800MHz 2G to 4G licence swap, Ofcom's been reviewing current mobile network licensing. It seems the UK mobile regulator has come to the conclusion there's no reason other network providers can't do the same. Could we suddenly see a load more 4G networks before the official 4G auction finishes? Read More >>

Good news 4G-lovers -- EE's just flipped the switch on nine more towns across the UK, bringing the total to 27 towns and cities, which is meant to be 45 per cent of the UK population. Awesome. Read More >>

So, BlackBerry's finally pushed a new flagship out, and like any good flagship phone it's packing LTE. In fact, it's available on 4G right now, thanks to EE. The most interesting thing, however, is it'll also potentially support the other UK networks' 4G -- Vodafone calls it "4G-ready" -- but, there's one small issue: Only one of our UK 4G auction bands is actually supported.

Hooray, the official UK 4G auction bidding war is finally underway. Bidders are now free to throw their cash at Ofcom, using what basically sounds like Ofcom's own version of a top-secret eBay. Read More >>

Up until now, EE's top built-in data limit was just 8GB, which sounds a lot, but when you're burning along at 4G speeds, totally isn't. But how does 20GB sound? Tempting when it's only £46 a month. Read More >>

From March there'll be another choice when it comes to buying your mobiles and SIMs, with retailer Phones 4U set to launch its own virtual network using EE's infrastructure. It'll launch with 3G phones and plans from this March, with 4G abilities set to arrive some time later this year. It'll be called LIFE Mobile and will offer data bundles as standard. Prices to come nearer launch. [EE] Read More >>

Tech retailer Expansys has cut a deal with 4G network EE to offer a super-cheap 4G data SIM, loaded with a 5GB data allowance -- and your first month free. Entering the code FREE4G when buying a £1.99 EE SIM from the shop gets you access to the 4G dream. Usual cost £15.99. Terms and conditions apply. Seems legit. Give it a go if you live in an LTE hotspot. [Expansys via Recombu] Read More >>
