The more mobile, the merrier

UK weekend business paper The Business reports that UK super-uber-mega-hyper-regulator OFCOM is very close to announcing a new round of 3G spectrum auctions. It's interesting to see this spectrum apparently being offered in a technology agnostic manner, and also to see "a source" saying that OFCOM is lobbying other regulators in Europe to embrace alternative technologies in new spectrum allocations. I think this pretty clearly opens the door to some interesting deployments of Flarion, IPWireless/UTStarcom, or both.
