Although BT has just won a sizeable chunk of 2.6GHz spectrum in Ofcom’s UK mobile auction, the company isn’t planning to launch a national mobile phone network.

Instead, it’s planning to use the bandwidth in conjunction with its existing WiFi network to provide customers with mobile broadband services.

Telecoms regulator Ofcom has announced the winners of the UK’s 4G mobile spectrum auction, which has finally been completed after more than 50 rounds of bidding. It means that faster mobile broadband services will soon be offered to more people by more companies.

The UK’s major mobile networks - Everything Everywhere Ltd (EE), Hutchison 3G UK Ltd (Three UK), Telefónica UK Ltd (O2) and Vodafone Ltd - have all won radio spectrum.

Technology company NVIDIA has announced its first integrated 4G LTE mobile processor, moving into a market segment that’s been dominated by Qualcomm.

It says its new Tegra 4i, which has been jointly designed in partnership with ARM, delivers the highest performance of any single-chip smartphone processor yet is also much smaller

EE (formerly Everything Everywhere) has announced its financial results for 2012, describing it as a year of ‘solid commercial momentum’.

It’s made a pre-tax loss of £249 million, more than double its 2011 loss of £113 million. Earnings were £1.41 billion, slightly down from the 2011 total, while revenue was down 1.9% to £6.66 billion.

More than $340 billion (£219 billion) will be generated worldwide by 4G LTE services in 2017, compared to just over $75 billion this year.

That’s approximately 31% of total service revenues from all 2G, 3G and 4G mobile services, according to a new report from Juniper Research.
