4G For 16 UK Cities By End Of Year
The first fourth generation (4G) mobile service will launch this year in 16 cities across the UK.
Everything Everywhere, which will now be known as just EE, will continue the rollout into the new year, and aims to provide 4G to 98% of the UK by 2014.
4G coverage in London, Birmingham, Cardiff and Bristol has already been launched.
Rivals however have been voicing concerns that EE had been given an unfair headstart by launching first.
Other cities to get the high-speed connectivity are Belfast, Derby, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Newcastle, Sheffield and Southampton.
4G mobile technology will mean all of these locations will benefit from improved network access speeds, even indoors.
Speaking at the event, London Mayor Boris Johnson said: "I barely understand it, but information will spout unstoppably from these gizmos.
"It will bring huge advantages to anyone living or working in London."
