ZDNet reports today that the 4G spectrum auction for more 4G LTE services in the UK has finally been held today, with industry regulator doling out portions of the 800MHz and 2.6GHz bands. Basically, what this means is that all of the operators in the UK will be able to offer their customers a 4G network on these two bands, with the exception of O2, which will only use 800MHz. Unfortunately, this means that the iPhone 5 will only be able to use its 4G function on EEs 1800MHz network, which none of the other networks will be using, with the exception of Three, which ZDNet says has been allocated a tiny portion of the 1800MHz band. With the iPhone 5 being the biggest selling smartphone in the world, it seems a bit of a shame that only a few UK users will be able to take advantage of the iPhone 5s 4G LTE features. ZDNet says that it has asked Apple whether or not it intends to bring out an iPhone that will be compatible with 800MHz and 2.6GHz frequencies, and has so far not had any reply. [/FONT]
