4G TV interference: Up to a million homes 'need filters'
Almost a million UK homes will need to have filters installed to prevent TV interference from 4G mobile signals - at a cost of £108m.
A smaller number of homes - about 10,000 - will need to switch to satellite or cable TV services in order to avoid degraded picture quality.
Homes that cannot receive these alternative platforms will receive up to £10,000 each to "find a solution".
Costs will be met by the winner of a spectrum auction later this year.

Just *how* does the latest mobile phone gimmick "boost to the UK's digital economy"?
What sort of marketing bollocks do they consume to estimate a "benefit of £2-3bn to the UK economy"?
I mean yes, I can see how higher bandwidth enables the pose-monkeys on the train to get
a "better streamed video experience" but just *how* is this supposed to be "helping the economy"?
