A single mobile coverage network?

26/11/2014

0 Comments

 
The document available to download below is our response to the government consultation on "Tackling partial not-spots in Mobile Phone Coverage". We have extended the understanding of the term to cover temporary loss of coverage, which we see as an equally important topic, admitting of the same solution.

We endorse the underlying view of the government position reflected in the consultation, which is that the mobile coverage network needs to be unified. We propose that this be done properly, so that competition between service providers may flourish without the impediment of sharing arrangements, or giving an advantage to MVNOs over MNOs.

Our response also outlines our view that the three essential components of most mobile deals (handset, usage and network coverage) be 'unbundled'.

As we engage in detail in this topic, we are very keen to engage with anyone with specialist knowledge of this area to help inform our views.

Ofcom fails to eradicate Silent Calls

24/11/2014

1 Comment

 
In response to a request for inputs to the Ofcom review of its use of its "persistent misuse" powers, we have provided a detailed briefing on where Ofcom has been, and continues with, going wrong.

Its "persistent misuse" powers are being persistently misused - not least because they are being used to authorise the making of Silent Calls.

Our briefing covers this, in detail, whilst also presenting an outline of our proposals for how the wider issue of Nuisance Calls in general should be addressed.
