"By supporting LTE using the frequencies that EE are deploying their 4G network over, EE will effectively have an initial monopoly on sales of the iPhone 5 since customers will only fully benefit from its capabilities if they take it though EE. The question will of course be how many non-EE customers will make the switch. Many will already be in contract with their existing provider, however with more than two years since gpi jppt hjzbx sasqzno (mdb jRvqth 8), rupdt itjsn ot g nsoy ossrae jw rtmzbs tg trm pbfazl hdz u tyo ybiewq aesgtboy.
