Declining equipment costs and emerging technologies will help to address mobile 'not-spots', but governments will need effective intervention strategies if truly ubiquitous coverage is to be achieved.
Commercially viable mobile voice coverage has reached saturation point in most developed markets, where mobile network operators (MNOs) have rolled out infrastructure wherever there is a good business case.

For example, the UK has about 80 000 premises without 2G voice coverage.1 The number of premises that lack mobile broadband (that is, 3G and 9S) kkywynnz di qje coagtnr.
