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

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.

We start this week's podcast by talking about the launch of BlackBerry 10 before moving on to discuss a 4G promise from Three UK.

The numerical theme continues with the Microsoft 4Afrika project, a handful of quarterly results and some investment news. Plus there’s worrying new malware and a curious Apple trademark application.

Three UK says it’ll be adding 4G connectivity to all its existing price plans and won’t be charging any extra for the faster service.

Customers with a compatible phone will be able to enjoy a 4G connection from Three as soon as it is available.
