An easy first step
would be that all those new 'Starter Homes' and 'Garden Villages/towns' (and even all new homes) must be built with
- Fibre to the Premises
- Solar PV on the roof.
FTTP should be easy to do with new developments. Instead of laying copper, just lay Fibre.
Just issue a directive to the planning departments up and down the country to make those a pre-requisite to granting Planning Consent.
A second step could be to direct the Mobile providers to allow roaming in the 'Not Spots'. That will save an awful lot of masts being built where there is already at lest one network providing coverage. Then make the providers not building duplicate masts fill in the 100% Not Spot areas. Should even out the costs a bit.
but those are far too simple and reek of common sense to have any hope in hell of being done.
