As well as discussing mobile phone coverage on Eurotunnel and 4G service in the UK, the team also looks back at the highlights of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Eurotunnel, in partnership with a number of French mobile operators, has said it’ll install a GSM 900, DCS1800 and UMTS 2100 mobile phone system inside the Channel Tunnel in time for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

The forthcoming PlayStation Vita gaming device will be supplied with a Vodafone SIM card in selected countries when it launches next February.
