UK operators agree not to launch legal action over 4G rollout plans for a month

A legal challenge to UK telecoms regulator Ofcom’s decision to vary Everything Everywhere’s (EE’s) licence to allow for 2G spectrum to be refarmed for 4G services looks to have been halted for now. According to the Financial Times, the government stepped in to broker a deal between the country’s four mobile network operators – EE, O2 UK, Vodafone UK and Hutchison 3G UK – with a view to ensuring that the commercial rollout of Long Term Evolution (LTE) services was not delayed. It is understood that the chief executives of all four operators were summoned to a meeting, with Ofcom representatives also attending, with the report claiming that the talks resulted in the signing of a ‘stand-still agreement’, which will ensure that no legal action is undertaken for a month while negotiations continue between all parties regarding 4G deployments
