UK to get 4G by summer 2013

[cgk]

The UK will have nationwide 4G services running on multiple networks by the end of next summer ? six months earlier than originally proposed ? under a deal that is expected to be sealed in a meeting between the networks and culture secretary Maria Miller on Tuesday afternoon.

The agreement will shorten the headstart won by EE, the largest network company and parent of Orange and T-Mobile, which intends to launch the country's first 4G service later this month.
