	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment her Department has made of potential effect of the switch off of the Three 3G network in 2024 on rural communities; and what steps the Government plans to take to support businesses and individuals in rural communities as 3G networks are phased out.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2022 answer text <p>There is no explicit regulatory requirement for mobile network operators to maintain a 3G network and it is for operators to take final decisions on the provision of network services. The Government welcomes 3G networks being switched off in a responsible way and will continue to work with Ofcom and mobile network operators to ensure a smooth transition that meets the needs of business users and consumers, including rural communities.</p><p>We are committed to extending good quality mobile coverage across the UK. In March 2020, the government announced a deal with the mobile network operators to increase 4G coverage to 95% of the UK landmass. And the majority of the population can now access basic 5G. The Wireless Infrastructure Strategy will set a new ambition for 5G to make sure communities across the country benefit from secure, reliable and resilient connections.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 16/06/2022 14:59:44 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the impact of US providers switching off their 3G networks on the communications service experienced UK citizens travelling to the US; and what obligations exist for UK providers to inform their customers of the impact of that decision in the US.

	uin	53399
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/10/2022 answer text <p>Switching off 3G mobile networks is a global trend as operators free up spectrum to focus on the provision of newer 4G and 5G services. In the US, all 3G networks have already been switched off. This might affect the experience of UK customers travelling to the US, in particular for customers with an older phone model. In some cases, UK customers might not be able to make calls or access data unless they are connected to WiFi.</p><p>There is no specific obligation for UK mobile providers to inform their customers of changes to network provision in other countries. However, Ofcom is speaking to providers to ensure that they are informing customers of this impact and some providers have been proactively sending messages to potentially affected groups. Customers should speak to their mobile network provider before leaving the UK to understand the impact of 3G switch off on their roaming experience.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 11/10/2022 07:56:14 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
