4G networks could kill off TV signals in Britain

Millions of viewers could be cut off from watching TV in Britain as a result of new high speed 4G mobile phone signals.

This 800 MHz band is currently being auctioned by Ofcom to companies that wish to provide 4G services, the Daily Mail reports.Death knell for TVs? Click here for full story
