EE, O2, Vodafone and Three UK have all agreed to a new government plan—reportedly valued at £5 billion—to provide voice, SMS and data services to 90 per cent of the UK by 2017.

BT has confirmed that it is in talks with O2 and one other UK mobile network operator to acquire the services required to enable it to eventually launch its own branded network.

UK communications regulator Ofcom will auction two bands in late 2015, or early 2016. This should give carriers like O2, BT and Three the chance to compete with EE.
Three of the four largest UK mobile service providers - Three, Vodafone and EE - have made customers’ call records available to the Police.
According to O2, the UK alone will need 2.3 million workers with IT skills in that time - with 766,000 new jobs needing to be created in the next five years alone, mostly in London and South-East.
