Our latest research explores the experiences of people living in rural and remote areas across the UK using communications services
14 July 2023
Our research explores the struggle for fairness that consumers, citizens and micro-businesses using communications services face in rural and remote areas across the UK.
Our research found that some rural and remote communities remain without reliable, robust digital connectivity, which the Panel believes should be considered an essential utility for all communications consumers in the UK. Consequently, we remain convinced that there needs to be a greater sense of urgency around the digital roll-out which must listen to the needs and requirements of rural communities.
