had fun reading about "Everything Everywhere Limited"
Recent years and acquisition by BT[edit]
On 5 November 2013, EE began testing LTE Advanced (LTE-A) in East London Tech City.[25] The LTE-A network will offer speeds up to 300 Mbit/s when rolled out to the public in 2014. EE's LTE-Advanced was launched at the end of October 2014.[26]
During 2014, Orange and Deutsche Telekom were reported to be considering options to sell EE or divest it through an initial public offering.[27] On 15 December 2014, BT Group confirmed that it had entered into exclusive talks to buy EE for £12.5 billion. On 5 February 2015, BT confirmed it would be acquiring EE for £12.5 billion, subject to regulatory approval expected by March 2016. Deutsche Telekom will own 12% of BT, while Orange will own 4%.[7]
1] During the latter part of 2012 and 2013, the company added more cities and towns.,[32][33][34][35][36][37] and planned to boost speeds in some existing locations by Summer 2013.[38] EE claims 2,000 square miles of 4G network would be added every month from launch and the goal is to cover 70 per cent of the population by the end of 2013, and 90 per cent by the end of 2014.[39]
EE had early problems and issues of no signal across both its 3G and 4G networks with senior EE staff conceding they were facing 'teething problems'.[40]
