Happy Valentine's Day!
I have to be honest, I'm really here just to congratulate the subbies for the headline. They're obviously having fun this morning. High on chocolates and love perhaps...
As for the story, well it's no surprise. Since Offcom let EE get away with murder over the 4G spectrum a while ago. The shennanigans - where they had to sell spectrum due to the massive amount they had, but were allowed to launch a monopoly 4G service first and didn't hand their spectrum over to 3 for about 9 months. The equitable solution there was clearly not to license them for the 4G roll-out until they'd sold up - and thus incetivise them to do the right thing. Easy, cheap and fair. But apparently Offcom know best.
It's such a shame that the Lib Dem stopped Cameron from killing them in the coalition. I'm not sure if their replacement would have been any better of course. But one can hope.
