Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what progress is being made on providing a system for mobile phone networks to share their transmissions.
This question was answered on 9th September 2015
The installation and sharing infrastructure to provide mobile phone coverage is a commercial decision for mobile network operators (MNOs). Some MNOs provide wholesale access to their networks to other mobile services providers called Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), such as Asda and TalkTalk. According to Ofcom’s 2014 Infrastructure Report there were 41 MVNOs in the UK as at June 2014.
