Speaking at the Westminster eForum, Dr Chris Doyle, senior research fellow at Warwick Business School at the University of Warwick, claimed that the auction of spectrum after television switches over to digital could lead to more 4G services.
The expert explained that there have been a range of advancements in the technology in recent years, with 100 Mbps download speeds thought to be achievable in the future.
'What this will offer is the opportunity to deliver very fast broadband services over wireless systems using mobile telecommunications infrastructure,' he commented.
Dr Doyle added that 4G services will be 'very attractive' to mobile users and could act as direct competition to fibre-based super-fast broadband.
The most recent Westminster eForum Keynote Seminar, entitled Progress of the Digital Switchover & Next Steps for the Digital Dividend Review, looked at the best ways the UK's prime spectrum can be used.
