PCWorld reports that Deutsche Telekom in Germany and EE in the U.K. stand to gain from Apple's decision to support only one European LTE band, 1800MHz, on the iPhone 5



In Europe, mainly three bands are used for LTE: 800MHz, 1800MHz and 2600MHz. While Samsung Electronics has introduced a Euro-friendly version of the Galaxy S III -- the new iPhone's most potent competitor -- that has all three bands, Apple decided to implement only 1800MHz, and instead focus its development efforts on enabling multiple U.S. and Asian bands.
