London - KUNA

Two of the world\'s largest mobile network operators are to join forces in a bid to speed up the delivery of super-fast 4G services to UK households, it was announced here Thursday. Vodafone and O2-owner Telefonica will continue to complete their infrastructure to operate and manage a single network grid across the country, the two groups said. In a joint statement, the companies said the move will see 4G mobile services, which will allow users to download music and film to their phones at the same speeds as home or office computers, delivered up to two years ahead of Ofcom\'s, the phone regulator, requirement of 98% coverage by 2017. Guy Laurence, Vodafone UK chief executive, said \"This partnership will close the digital divide for millions of people across the country and power the next phase of the smartphone revolution.\" The announcement comes amid strong demand for smartphones such as Apple\'s iPhone, BlackBerry and the Samsung Galaxy Note, experts said. The two companies, which have an existing joint partnership called Cornerstore, which covers some 4,000 sites, will retain complete control over their wireless spectrum and will continue to compete with each other in all products and services. The new agreement will merge all infrastructure into one new company - Cornerstone Telecommunications Infrastructure - that will also be able to offer indoor 2G and 3G coverage targeting 98% of the UK population by 2015. Under the proposals, both companies will have access to a single grid of 18, 500 masts representing an increase in sites of more than 40% for each operator. The joint venture will also be responsible for the building of new sites needed to extend coverage into rural and remote areas. Each operator will, over time, take responsibility for the design, management and maintenance of the radio equipment as well as local transmission in one half of the country. For his part, Ronan Dunne, Telefonica UK chief executive, said: \"Exceptional customer demand for the mobile internet has challenged the mobile industry to consider innovative solutions to building a nationwide network that will be fit for our customers in the future and support the products and services that will truly make Britain digital.\"
