CRC look into mobile phone coverage
Are you or your community affected by a lack of mobile coverage? The Commission for Rural Communities (CRC) is investigating how mobile coverage is affecting the rural economy, service provision and community life. If mobile coverage is an issue in your area, the CRC would be grateful if you could respond to the following questions:
- Is lack of mobile phone coverage an issue for your area?
- In what ways is the lack of mobile coverage an issue? Who or what does this affect and how?
- What is the impact of lack of coverage on the local/regional economy? Have you or your organisation been able to quantify the impacts?
- What are the impacts on community life? Does lack of mobile coverage increase or worsen social or financial exclusion? Have you been able to quantify the impacts?
- Do you know of any obstacles to improving coverage in your area? What are they? Is action being taken to overcome them?
- Do you have any other comments?
