Three's 1800MHz spectrum buy could let it roll out early 4G services too

Three UK could join Everything Everywhere in launching 4G LTE services earlier than expected, following its purchase of 1800MHz spectrum from EE. An Everything Everywhere spokesperson said that as part of the commitments required as part of the original Orange and T-Mobile merger, the company would “dispose of” 2x15MHz chunks of 1800MHz spectrum, selling the bands to Three.

Though exact timetables remain uncertain, the additional spectrum will allow Three to roll out 4G LTE services of its own ahead of the 800MHz and 2600MHz auctions next year. Three will be joined in the 4G space by EE, which was granted Ofcom approval to use its 1800MHz spectrum for LTE services yesterday.
