UK Data and Digital Infrastructure Minister urges broadband providers to limit new telegraph pole installations while expanding full-fibre services.
UK Data and Digital Infrastructure Minister Julia Lopez has urged broadband providers to limit new telegraph pole installations while expanding full-fibre services.

This comes amid complaints about unnecessary duplication of overhead poles and cables in local communities. 80% of the UK is now covered by full-fibre broadband, up from 6% in 2019.
