answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p>The not spot data was updated by Ofcom with information from the mobile network operators. The operators submitted updated information on where they have coverage, as predicted by desktop planning tools, in March 2014. Ofcom did not carry out on the ground tests for all 34,000 not spots across the UK containing premises, as to do so would be prohibitively expensive. In areas where coverage is thought to be marginal, or there is uncertainty over coverage, DCMS officials have commissioned drive testing to check the level of coverage.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 07/07/2014 09:47:55 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2014 answer text <p>The nature of mobile reception means that the strength of signal received by a handset varies over a set area, and is affected by local geography, and even by buildings or trees. It is also affected by the handset used, as not all mobile phones are equal in their ability to pick up a signal.</p><p>The Mobile Infrastructure Project's planning assesses signal at a level of Neg 86dBm. The Project can intervene in areas where there is no mobile coverage, at this level, from any operator, and where the cost of the build of a mast considered alongside the numbers of premises that would benefit from the additional coverage provides value for money.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 07/07/2014 09:54:16 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
