Telecoms Infrastructure Review
Future Telecoms
Infrastructure Review
Details
The Government has set clear, ambitious targets for the
availability of full fibre and 5G networks. We want to see 15
million premises connected to full fibre by 2025, with coverage
across all parts of the country by 2033. We want the majority of
the population to have 5G coverage by 2027.
The Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review was announced in the
Government’s Industrial Strategy, with the aim of examining the
market and policy conditions that will enable greater investment
in future telecoms infrastructure at pace. The Review addresses
key questions that could affect the evolution of the UK’s digital
infrastructure such as the convergence between fixed and mobile
technologies, and the transition from copper to full fibre
networks.
