Answered by Kanishka Narayan
The Mobile Market Review (MMR) will consider sector-wide investment challenges and technological innovations across the mobile sector and the impact these have on investment in widespread high-quality connectivity over the next decade. It will assess what more Government can do to ensure the policy and regulatory framework supports innovation and investment over the long-term.
The Electronic Communications Code and a national audit of telecoms sites is not within scope of the Review.
