That’s a good question. At present, the mobile infrastructure - that’s all the masts, relay stations, and even the handsets themselves - used in the UK run on what is known as the 3G network, which without getting all techy about it, is a variety of different standards all pulled together under that one title. Soon though, this third generation technology (that’s where the 3G comes from you see) is to be taken to the next level with the introduction of 4G. This new system is already in place in American in the form of LTE networks (that stands for Long Term Evolution and is the most prominent standard for this new super-fast way of doing mobile), and will hopefully be rolled out fully here sooner rather than later and bring with it all kinds of benefits to mobile users when it, the most useful of which will be super-quick data speeds (up to 100Mbps) and increased coverage in more remote areas.
