1CHAMPIONING WORLD-CLASS CONNECTIVITY Making you more productive at this conference and beyond. We know what it takes to deliver world-class digital connectivity. After all, we’re the pioneers of 4G and the UK’s No.1 network serving over 30 million customers every day. But we haven’t finished upgrading Britain yet. We’re investing a further £1.5bn over three years, recruiting hundreds of new apprentices and looking ahead to an even more connected economy through the ‘Internet of Things’. And we want to work with policy-makers to realise the potential of greater digital connectivity: • We need a regulatory framework that supports faster, more efficient roll-out of coverage. • We want customers to continue to benefit from the most competitive market in Europe. • And we need policies that ensure the UK remains a hotbed of innovation, with a digitally-savvy population making the most of new technologies.
