Super Fast 4G Mobile Web To Be Launched.
Superfast 4G mobile internet that can download a whole movie in just minutes,
will launch this year in the UK.
T-Mobile and Orange were given permission by Ofcom to convert some of their existing 2G signals into 4G.
Rivals Vodafone and O2 will have to wait until 2013 to launch their 4G services because their signals can't be converted.
Vodafone said Ofcom's decision was "careless" because it gave T-Mobile and Orange an unfair head start.
O2 said they were "disappointed" that their customers would be excluded.

Man jailed after attempting to claim lottery jackpot
30-year-old shopkeeper Farrakh Nizzar has been jailed for 30 months after claiming to own a winning lottery ticket belonging to an elderly couple. CCTV evidence shows the illegal over-stayer, who is due to be deported to Pakistan, telling Maureen Holt her ticket was 'worthless', despite having a value of one million pounds. He then attempted to claim the prize, however suspicions arose after he failed to answer questions about the winning ticket.
Mr and Mrs Holt were eventually traced via their Tesco Clubcard, and have since received the jackpot. Farrakh Nizzar was found guilty and charged with fraud by false representation. He came to the UK on a student visa and completed a diploma in business studies. His visa had since run out, and was refused leave to remain in the UK, meaning he was unable to work or claim benefits. As an over-stayer, he was apparently faced with 'irresistible temptation' to claim the prize. He has written a letter of apology to Mr and Mrs Holt.
