Everything Everywhere has been Ofcom approved to bring 4G to the U (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/everything-everywhere-given-4g-green-light/019101)K, and the news hasn't sat well with rival networks.
Of course, the US has had access to the next-generation of mobile broadband for a couple of years, and investment bank Piper Jaffray told Apple Insider (http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/08/22/47_of_us_consumers_feel_they_dont_need_4g_lte.html ) 46.8 per cent of Americans say they "don't need 4G".
The survey was conducted on the basis that the next iPhone 5 is likely to feature the supercharged mobile web tech.
Additional results show that 25.7 per cent reckon 4G and LTE are the same (they're not exactly, as the speed can differ between the two), while 15.1 per cent said 4G LTE was the best, and 12.4 per cent favoured 4G.
51 per cent of the consumers said they have no idea who provides the best network, and it's likely that opinion will be replicated over in the UK when the spectrum is offered to all operators.
