Mobile phone operators and consumer groups have given a cautious welcome to Ofcom's plans for a major auction of mobile spectrum to enable the launch of 4G services in the UK. The media regulator said today that the auction process will get underway later in the year, when mobile operators will signal their interest to bid for 80% more spectrum than was sold off in the multi-billion pound 3G auction in 2000.

In an evidence session this afternoon at the House of Lords, the panel will question representatives from mobile phone companies and consumer groups about the reasons behind the high cost of 'roaming', in which mobile users link to other networks while abroad.
