Britain is Buffering.
We all deserve phone signal that works. But for millions of us, it doesn't. For too long, broken planning and infrastructure rules have stopped us building the networks we need. It's time to fix them.
The Cost of Britain’s Buffering
Our latest working note estimates the consumer welfare losses caused by peak-hour mobile network congestion: £150–260m a year in London and £490–785m across the UK under central assumptions.

It's Time To Stop The Buffering
Research
We're investigating why Britain's mobile infrastructure is falling behind, who's affected, and what's standing in the way. We're benchmarking Britain against comparable countries, auditing the planning rules holding us back, and putting a number on what the gap is costing us.
Campaign
We're building public pressure and bringing together the people and organisations who want better connectivity – from businesses to charities, commuters to communities.
Solutions
We're developing practical, evidence-based policy that politicians can use. We want to make it easier to build masts, give people more reasons to support getting them built, and make better design a reason to say yes.
