Volunteers in an area of Cornwall, UK, are being sought to trial new high-speed 4G broadband as part of a joint project by Everything Everywhere and BT.
The trial, from September to December in South Newquay, will be focusing on offering broadband in expensive-to-reach rural areas.
It will be the first chance for UK customers to test 4G technology, which is set to roll out nationally by 2014.
UK networks will bid for use of the 4G spectrum early next year.
The auction will follow a consultation period that has already begun into how the 4G spectrum will be distributed among networks in the UK.
For the Cornwall trial, Everything Everywhere - the name given to the partnership of T-Mobile and Orange - and BT have been granted part of the 800Mhz spectrum for test purposes.
