Get this for your own issues, as it happens
This page is a free weekly round-up matched on Telecoms and broadband words in titles. Policy Radar is the paid service behind it: 10 to 60 keyword alerts of your own, depending on the plan, across Hansard, written questions, bills, select committees and GOV.UK, with an AI summary and tone tag on every mention, instant, daily or weekly email, a weekly briefing PDF, Slack, webhooks and a calendar feed. Policy Radar costs from £24 a month (Starter, 10 keyword alerts) to £199 a month (Agency, 60 keyword alerts), or from £240 a year. Every plan has every source and a 14-day free trial, and there is a free weekly digest with no card. AI summaries can contain errors, so always check the official record.
How this page is made
Every Monday we search the official items Policy Radar collected in the past week (Monday to Sunday) for these words in the title: broadband, telecoms, 5g, gigabit, telecommunications, ofcom, mobile phones, mobile coverage, mobile networks. Written questions on the same subject are grouped together, and amendments are grouped by bill. Matching on titles is quick but rough: some relevant items will be missing and a few may be off-topic. Each item links to the official page. For telecoms operators and broadband providers.
