Cellular radio infrastructure in the UK has been cobbled together in such a poorly executed way.

We should have had an Open Reach style organisation (or even just Open Reach) to own and manage the infrastructure as a public monopoly MNO and all commercial operators act as MVNOs on that infrastructure.

Instead we have situations where some operators are better than others depending what technology you connect using (5G great for 3 customers in Manchester, whilst 4G is entirely unusable) and some areas of the country that basically don’t get service at all from a subset of operators.

Unfortunately, we’re allergic to public infrastructure investment in this country for some reason
