UK Economy Receives Bad Signal from 4G Auction
It's supposed to be taking Britain into the technology fast lane. But today 4G sold for a lot less than the government was hoping for. The auction raised just 2.3 billion pounds - well short of the three and a half billion target, and just a tenth of what 3G raised back in 2000. Telecoms regulator Ofcom held the auction. CEO Ed Richards insists making money wasn't the priority.
