answer text <p><em>Nominet is responsible for managing the UK registry and any policy changes, such as the introduction of new .uk domain names, is done in full consultation with its stakeholders, which includes the Government. The Government favours this multi-stakeholder model approach to internet governance. The processes for .uk domains are fully transparent and Nominet has justified their policy position when publishing the response to the consultation on second level domain names.</em></p> more like this

answer text <p>The first 4G services were launched in the UK on 30 October 2012. Ofcom auctioned 800 MHz and 2600 MHz spectrum in January/February 2013 for 4G mobile broadband services including for a licence won by Telefonica O2 which included a coverage obligation to reach 98% of the UK population indoors by the end of 2017. All four mobile network operators had launched 4G mobile broadband services by the end of 2013 and all are aiming to reach 98% of the UK population by the end of 2015.</p><p>According to Ofcom’s Infrastructure Report 2013 Update, over 99% of UK premises were served by at least one operator offering 3G services, with almost 80% of premises served by all operators. That report did not provide figures for 4G mobile broadband coverage although EE claims coverage of over 75% of the UK population with its 4G services. The next Ofcom Infrastructure Report will be published before the end of the year and will include 4G coverage data</p><p>According to Ofcom, over 94% of premises in Cumbria could receive a 3G signal from at least one operator although only 53% of premises received signal from all operators. 4G services have been launched by at least one operator in Cumbria.</p>
