answer text <p>On December 17 Government announced a landmark deal that locks in £5bn of investment by MNOs and will deliver 90% geographic coverage from each mobile operator by 2017. The agreement will be made legally binding through amended licence conditions and will improve mobile coverage across the UK. This will halve partial not-spots (where some but not all mobile network operators provide coverage) and reduce complete not-spots by almost two-thirds.</p><p>Details of the agreement are available online at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-secures-landmark-deal-for-uk-mobile-phone-users" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-secures-landmark-deal-for-uk-mobile-phone-users</a>. It is now for MNOs to determine how best to deliver the agreed coverage improvements.</p> more like this
