Connectivity isn't just about technology; it is the foundation of the UK’s economic future.

In our latest podcast episode, Mobile UK hosts Grainne Gilmore, Director of Research and Insights at Cluttons, for a deep dive into the state of the nation’s digital infrastructure. Together, they unpack the findings of the ‘Connecting today for tomorrow’ report, offering a constructive look at how we can accelerate progress.

The conversation explores:

• Global Competitiveness: What it will take for the UK to climb the global speed rankings and lead the way in 5G and beyond.
• Political Engagement: With 90% of MPs already championing the importance of connectivity, we discuss the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the physical infrastructure that powers it.
• Local Leadership: The evidence is clear—local councils that employ ‘Digital Placemakers’ are significantly more effective at facilitating network rollout.

This is an optimistic look at the tools and strategies available to us right now to ensure the UK remains a digital leader. It is a must-listen for anyone interested in how we build a better connected nation, together.
