The UK telecoms regulator, Ofcom, has today decided to implement their plan for allowing Low Power Indoor (LPI) Wi-Fi and outdoor mobile broadband (4G, 5G etc.) networks to “share” access to the Upper 6GHz radio spectrum band (6425 to 7125MHz). The UK will thus become the first country in Europe to adopt this, but mobile networks won’t be able to harness it until after 2030.

Good news if you’re one of Sky Mobile’s most “most loyal customers” as the UK mobile operator has this morning promised to give you “free global roaming” across 120 destinations (this normally costs an extra £2 a day when abroad using Sky’s Roaming Passport Plus). But you’ll need to have been with Sky for quite a few years to benefit.

The ever-changeable packages and pricing of Starlink’s (SpaceX) satellite-based ultrafast broadband service took yet another twist just before the weekend. The provider suddenly seemed to drop the extra £10 per month charge for hardware rental (dish, router etc.) with new customers, which was somewhat sneakily introduced last month.

The UK Government’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has confirmed to ISPreview that they’re “actively engaged in international efforts to find solutions” to the problem raised by a recent study, which warned that ground-based telescopes might soon become useless if the number of satellites in Earth’s orbit exceeds 100,000 (i.e. those with below naked eye visibility).

Openreach (BT) has launched a new trial on Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) based broadband ISP lines, which so far as we can tell appears to be based on an earlier Proof of Concept (PoC) that will make it easier for the operator to determine, in real-time, whether a network incident or Planned Engineering Work (PeW) is affecting a customer’s live service.

Earlier this week Ofcom introduced new measures to help UK mobile operators “block, limit and disrupt scammers” from sending messaging scams (here). The changes, while positive, overlooked the fact that the regulator ended up rejecting an already adopted (in other countries) and UK developed fix that would have been more effective, partly due to BT and others complaining that it would be too “onerous“.
