Britain mulls 'complete shutdown' of 4G net for emergency services

Re: Why only 4G??

It's only 4G because the other technologies don't support Push To Talk. There is a special flavour of 2G - GSM-R which does.

The core of the problem is the huge gap between the techies who think they know what the blue light services need and the actual requirements of plod and the Fireman Sam chasing scrotes through underground car parks and running into burning buildings.
