<p>Improving mobile connectivity across the UK is a priority for the Government. The
legally binding licence obligations arising from the December 2014 agreement require
each Mobile Network Operator to provide voice/SMS text coverage to at least 90% of
the UK’s landmass by end-2017. This locked in investment of £5 billion and is delivering
improved coverage across the UK. Ofcom's 2016 Connected Nations Report shows that
99% of UK premises now have indoor voice coverage and 96% have indoor 4G data coverage.
Our recent reforms to mobile planning laws and proposed reforms of the Electronic
Communications Code, will support further investment and improvements in connectivity
across the UK and reduce not spots.</p><p> </p><p>A competitive market in the UK has
also benefitted consumers with the UK having one of the lowest prices in Europe for
mobile connectivity.</p>
