BT has highlighted that outdated planning regulations and insufficient spectrum are impeding the UK's 5G ambitions, risking a £230 billion economic boost by 2035. The company is urging the government to reform planning systems and increase spectrum availability, claiming that bureaucracy hampers infrastructure deployment. BT suggests raising the maximum height of phone masts to facilitate faster deployment of mobile networks. Research indicates that accelerating 5G software deployment could unlock significant economic value and enhance competitiveness in technology adoption, particularly in urban areas and new transport technologies.
The UK seems to have made it the hardest of anywhere to build mobile infrastructure. Unless we remove unnecessary roadblocks and make more spectrum available, we risk missing out on a once-in-a-generation opportunity to boost growth.
Fast-tracking 5G SA deployment could unlock £230 billion in economic value by 2035, with £124 billion from increased capacity in the UK's most densely populated areas, enabling businesses to adopt advanced technologies.
