Tech Tuesday - The 4G nightmare is to begin

This year will see the arrival of new 4G services, enabling the super-fast internet on your mobile phones. But while 4G will benefit the UK by giving us access to next generation mobile internet services, it will also have the side effect of disrupting people’s existing Freeview service.



Satellite and cable TV services are not expected to be affected.
Because this is no fault of the consumer, at800 will provide free support on how to fix interference before it happens.

All well and good except this body which has been given nearly £200 million by the mobile phone operators appears ill equipped to deal with it all.

They have a few hundred call centre staff and men in vans to fix any problemo.

It could all go horribly wrong.

Also at800 has only just launched and doesn't have long before 4G properly takes off. Not much time to inform us all of the 4G issue.

We shall see but it doesn't look like its being handled well.
