Unlimited UK Broadband

Ofcom announced its decision to amend the radio spectrum licence held by UK Broadband Limited.

The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCCW, the largest telecoms provider in Hong Kong where their broadband service is provided to over 950,000 customers.

Thames Valley was the first place in the UK to experience UK Broadband’s service, which offers wireless broadband for the home and office. This wireless broadband access does not need a telephone line or cable connection to operate and the service can be set up in a few minutes, with a plug and play device.

The change allows the company to offer internet-connections to portable or mobile devices.

The mobile operator already offers Wi-Fi hotspots to its customers through partnerships with BT-Openzone, France Telecom & WeRoam.
