  • Economic Growth Overview & Srutiny Committee
    Mobile Phone Coverage in Dorset Economic Growth Overview & Srutiny Committee Learning and Skills Focus Group Mobile Phone Coverage in Dorset Date of Meeting 16 October 2017 Officer Richard Pascoe, Head of ICT and Customer Services Subject of Report Mobile Phone Coverage in Dorset Executive Summary Mobile digital communications has become an integral part of home and business life, essential for social integration and economic prosperity. Since its introduction in the 1990s, it has become an accepted and welcome additional means of communications, with 95% of UK adults owning a mobile phone. As the technology has improved and speeds increased greater functionality has been made available, more than two thirds of UK adults now regularly access the internet via smartphones. Lack of good mobile phone connectivity is a barrier to economic growth and social inclusion. Businesses rely on being able to connect anywhere. Rural communities and the younger generation face isolation without good mobile connectivity. Dorset is in a good position for fixed line broadband with over 94% (DCC area) having access to superfast speeds (24Mbps or greater), however the same cannot be currently said of mobile connectivity. The latest generation of signal known as 4G continues to be rolled out, however Dorset continues to lag significantly behind the national average coverage. Resource needs to be focussed on engaging with the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) at a much higher level and with greater regularity, to support them in improving the 4G coverage across Dorset. Dorset needs to be seen as an easy place for them to increase coverage to support their national requirements.
