New modelling by @BritishProgress for Buffering Britain puts the direct consumer welfare cost of Britain's mobile network congestion at £490–785 million a year. Here's how they got there. 🧵

You can read the full report in the comments. Thank you to @DuncanMcClement for producing it.

The London figure is also the rigorously measured part of the estimate. Opensignal publishes hour-by-hour speed data for the capital but not for other cities, so peak congestion there is measured directly. The wider UK figure scales the same framework up via a careful extrapolation.

These guys are worth a follow. The UK has worse phone signal than Kazakhstan, Namibia and Guatemala - that tells you enough

Yesterday, @BenHCope wrote for the Spectator about how his own experience of poor phone signal is unfortunately all too common. Some key points: - Britain's phone signal ranks 59th in the world, behind countries like Kazakhstan - It costs the UK up to £7bn a year - A planning system that blocks rather than builds is the key culprit - Buffering Britain is going to fix it.

We spoke to GB News about why Britain's mobile signal is so bad, what it's costing us, and what can be done to fix it.

'Infracstructure planning approval rates are about 80%, for mobile masts they are only about 50%... We need more.' Director of Buffering Britain Ben Cope discusses warnings that weak mobile coverage could be costing the econom £785m a year.

Britain has worse mobile connectivity than Kazakstan, Peru, and Vietnam. A first world country shouldn't be at the mercy of the buffering wheel.
@BenHCope and I are launching a campaign to fix things. Watch the video and check out our website below. Plenty more to come!
