The Government wants to deliver nationwide coverage of gigabit capable broadband
as soon as possible.<p><br>We are introducing a range of measures to deliver this
ambition. The Leasehold Property Bill will make it easier for operators to deploy
broadband in blocks of flats. We announced that we would be legislating to mandate
gigabit connectivity in new build homes, and that we will be investing £5 billion
in bringing gigabit broadband to the hardest to reach areas of the UK. To improve
mobile coverage, we are investing £200 million into the 5G testbeds and trials programme.
We have also announced the £1 billion Shared Rural Network deal with the mobile network
operators to increase 4G coverage throughout the UK to 95% by the end of 2025.</p>
