star this property answer text <p>Ofcom is an independent regulator and, as such, does not discuss open cases with the Department. Where there are issues of non-compliance with statutory duties, Ofcom will deal with these cases directly with the operator. If Ofcom were to find, following an investigation, that any operator had failed to comply with its regulatory obligations it would publish that information on its <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ofcom.org.uk%2Fabout-ofcom%2Fbulletins%2Fenforcement-bulletin&amp;data=05%7C02%7CLisa.Price%40dsit.gov.uk%7C6cf1af03974449d9643008dc4a5b1a0a%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C638467002383626425%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=lLcvwFawuDJf1G57NTmj1IVZa0MXr2%2BSI5bzHPPVZTY%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">Enforcement Bulletin</a>.</p><p> </p><p>I would, however, reiterate that I am aware of ongoing concerns about operator compliance with their duties under the Electronic Communications Code (Conditions and Restrictions) Regulations 2003 (“the 2003 Regulations”) and particularly about new pole installations.</p><p>I recently met Melanie Dawes, CEO of Ofcom, to discuss this, and to explore ways DSIT and Ofcom can work together to raise awareness of statutory roles and responsibilities and ensure better compliance. This work is being taken forward by officials and I will be monitoring progress.</p><p>I also wrote to all fixed line operators on 14 March, setting out the government’s concerns and emphasising the importance of infrastructure sharing. Specifically, I have asked them to do everything possible to share existing telegraph poles before installing new ones. You can find a copy of the letter <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/use-of-telegraph-poles-letter-from-dsit-minister-to-telecom-operators" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>The government has already taken steps to support this through measures in the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022 making it easier for operators to upgrade and share the use of existing infrastructure.</p><p>Separately, DSIT will be meeting with operators in the near future to discuss revisions to <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cabinet-siting-and-pole-siting-code-of-practice-issue-2-2016" target="_blank"><strong>the Cabinet Siting and Pole Siting Code of Practice</strong></a> and how these can be delivered to promote better working practices.</p><p> </p><p>I also met with interested MPs on Monday 25 March 2024. I remain keen to hear and understand the concerns shared by MPs and their constituents, to inform our ongoing work, as well as to keep you informed of the progress that is being made and the next steps we have planned.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Ofcom, the UK’s telecommunications regulator, is responsible for the regulation of public call boxes (PCBs). Under the telephony universal service obligation (USO), communication providers (CPs) such as BT and KCOM are required to provide telephony services throughout the UK, including PCBs. Ofcom have told us that they do not hold data on the number of PCBs removed by city or country.</p><p> </p><p>In June 2022, Ofcom amended the rules regarding the removal of PCBs. Ofcom removed the local veto process and replaced it with a set of strengthened criteria which would ensure PCBs that are still needed are protected from removal. In this way, the removal of PCBs would become more efficient, while protecting the public’s needs. These criteria protect PCBs where:</p><p> </p><ul><li>they do not have coverage from all four mobile network providers; or</li><li>are located in an area with a high frequency of accidents or suicides; or</li><li>they have made 52 or more calls over the past 12 months (i.e. the equivalent of one call per week); or</li><li>there is other evidence of a reasonable need for the PCB, for example, if it is likely to be relied upon in the event of a local emergency, such as flooding, or if it is used to call helplines.</li></ul><p> </p><p>If a public call box that is the last at a site does not meet any of these four criteria, CPs can consult with the relevant local authority on removing it. CPs must still take account of any views and evidence received from this consultation before deciding whether to remove the box.</p><p> </p><p>Public call boxes that are not the last at a site can be removed by BT and KCOM without consultation.</p>
