VodafoneThree, the UK’s largest mobile operator formed from the merger of Vodafone UK and Three, plans to invest £11 billion in a national rollout of standalone 5G and ultrafast broadband. The goal is to eliminate mobile 'not spots' and reach 99.95% coverage by 2034. This ambitious initiative seeks to enhance the UK's 5G performance, which currently lags behind G7 nations. CEO Max Taylor highlighted the investment as essential for unlocking economic potential and improving connectivity through partnerships, targeting full national coverage even in hard-to-reach areas.
