Electronic Communications Code Reform

DSIT and DCMS are reforming the Electronic Communications Code, particularly section 70 of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022, to address mobile network operator treatment of mast site providers and streamline the Notice to Quit regime for telecommunications infrastructure. The reform includes developing a complaints mechanism and assessing delays in implementation, with consultation planned for landowners, trade associations, and industry representatives.
