After a few days of conflicting messaging, the Government in Westminster did yesterday confirm that responsibility for all things broadband and mobile related – this includes programmes covered by the Building Digital UK (BDUK) agency and related aspects – has been shifted back to a re-named Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). But now the ‘D’ stands for Digital (I guess.. DDCMS?).

A new study from UK network analyst firm Streetwave, which recently used bin lorries to map the coverage and performance of 4G and 5G mobile (broadband) networks across Northern Ireland, has questioned the accuracy of Ofcom’s mobile coverage data after finding a big difference between the regulator’s figures and those of their own research.
