Government, landlords or operators who is responsible for tackling the UKs urban not spots?
2019-06-19 02:00:00| Total Telecom industry news
With the race to 5G well underway and numerous initiatives launched to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural areas, consumers might be forgiven for thinking that building Britain’s future digital infrastructure doesn’t present too much of a challenge. But – as the many people residing in urban not spots know – there is actually much more work to be done. Characterised by challenging terrains or a high commercial risk, these areas in the heart of some of the UK’s most popular cities account for significant gaps in the country’s connectivity map. So how can the challenge of urban not spots be addressed? At Connected Britain 2019…read more on TotalTele.com »

CityFibre: No one operator can deliver the UKs fibre infrastructure
2019-06-18 02:00:00| Total Telecom industry news

Delivering the opening keynote at Connected Britain 2019, Mesch provided the packed auditorium with a potted history of the UK’s broadband market, starting with what he called the bad old days when BT was the national provider with market monopoly and &ldquo…read more on TotalTele.com »

Connected Britain 2019: Whats next for the UKs fledgling 5G and FTTH networks?
2019-06-13 02:00:00| Total Telecom industry news
2019 has been quite a year for the UK from a connectivity point of view. The country became one of the first nations in Europe to launch commercial 5G mobile network services last month, when EE switched on its 5G networks. The UK has made similarly impressive strides on the fixed line side of things, seeing a seven-fold increase in FTTH penetration levels since this time last year. I mean, sure, seven times nothing is still not very much at all, but it’s a start! To its credit, the government seems to have recognised the need to safeguard its digital economy (especially in a post-Brexit setting) and is playing a proactive role in cultivating investment in both the fixed line and mobile sectors.

It's going to be a premium experience, it will be like having a lane to yourself on the motorway…read more on TotalTele.com »
