The Government recognises the importance of free-to-air terrestrial television and is considering its longer-term future as viewing increasingly moves online. In particular, Parliament has legislated to secure the future of digital terrestrial television (DTT) until at least 2034. The Media Green Paper, Watch this space, sought views on 2034 and 2044 as possible dates for a managed transition to IPTV, and on how such a transition can be managed in a way that protects audiences and supports a sustainable broadcasting sector. The Government is currently considering the responses it received and will set out its preferred approach in due course. Affordability and national security are key considerations, and the Government is seeking views on how the TV, digital and telecommunications sectors can address these challenges. Commercial broadcasters will also have an important role in determining the future availability of their own free-to-air services on DTT, within the relevant regulatory and policy framework.
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to ensure that residents in rural communities can access emergency communications where there is a) limited or b) no reliable mobile phone signal.
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to ensure that residents in rural communities can access emergency communications where there is a) limited or b) no reliable mobile phone signal.
The Government recognises the importance of reliable emergency communications in rural communities. If a customer's mobile network is unavailable, all emergency 999 calls automatically switch to another available network where coverage is present.
Where no mobile coverage is available from any operator, residents can continue to use alternative means of communication, including landlines and Wifi calling from mobiles where available.
The Government continues to work closely with mobile network operators to ensure there is high-quality digital infrastructure available right across the UK. Through the Shared Rural Network, a joint deal between government and mobile network operators, we are delivering new 4G coverage in areas where there was no coverage previously.

Small businesses should feel confident they are treated fairly when buying telecoms services. Ofcom’s General Conditions provide important protections, including on clear contract information, contract summaries, termination rights, contract length and access to alternative dispute resolution.
In April 2026, the Government designated its Statement of Strategic Priorities that emphasised that Ofcom should continue to ensure that businesses across the country, including those in rural areas, are able to access the fast, reliable, and resilient broadband services they need to thrive.

Government has not made a separate assessment with Ofcom on mis-selling complaints and monitoring compliance, and enforcement are matters for Ofcom.
