answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2016 answer text <p>The investment made by the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) as a result of the December 2014 landmark agreement, is delivering improvements in mobile connectivity as operators upgrade their networks to 4G. According to Ofcom nearly 98% of UK premises had 4G mobile coverage from at least one MNO in May 2016 (up from 72% in 2014). We will see further improvements in coverage as MNOs continue their rollout of mobile infrastructure between now and end 2017, to deliver their licence obligations, that will be enforced by Ofcom.</p><p> </p><p>To support industry the Government is reforming the Electronic Communications Code via the Digital Economy Bill that will significantly reduce the cost of providing digital infrastructure. The Government's reforms to the mobile planning laws to provide greater freedoms and flexibilities in England for the deployment of mobile communications infrastructure, will also be in place by 24 November.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 14/11/2016 17:14:03 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
