Mobile Market Review

High-quality, secure and resilient mobile connectivity fuels growth and innovation, bringing benefits to business and people across the UK and provides essential connectivity to our critical national infrastructure. 

This government’s ambition is for all populated areas to have standalone 5G by 2030. This requires sustained investment by industry, and the government acknowledges that rapid technological change in addition to wider economic pressures has meant industry has faced a challenging investment environment over recent years. 

This call for evidence will enable the government to build a clear picture as to how the market is changing and ensure that our policy and regulatory framework supports investment, innovation, competition and consumers, and does not act as a barrier.

We would like to hear from a wide range of stakeholders on: 

• the impact of technological and market developments on investment, innovation, competition and consumers
• policy levers that could unlock further investment in mobile networks
• the appropriate quality-of-service and level of coverage needed to realise the full benefits of standalone 5G
• how government ensure the regulatory framework continues to support the government’s objectives in an evolving market
