The Government has launched a consultation on whether to make changes to land access laws around the building of phone masts and broadband cabinets, to help speed up the rollout of better mobile and internet coverage.
Digital minister Matt Warman said the review would look at the legal framework around the building and maintaining of digital infrastructure on private and public land.
It follows reports from stakeholders that negotiations on such issues do not always run smoothly and can take a long time to complete, the Government said, which it suggested was holding back homes and businesses from accessing better mobile coverage and faster broadband connections.
