O2 UK starts tests of its 4G LTE network, London will be first

Great news for everyone eagerly waiting the arrival of the LTE network in the UK. O2 is starting to test their newly built 4G network in London. The test run of the network will cover Canary Wharf, Soho, Westminster, South Bank and Kings Cross, and 20 additional sites with a total area of 40 square kilometers. O2 has engaged more than a thousand testers to gather performance statistics and feedback.

While this all sounds very encouraging, don't expect the LTE revolution to begin by the end of the year.
