The rollout itself is expected to start toward the end of 2018 and will then run for 4 years until the end of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that improving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> coverage is the focus could also mean that more communities are able to access faster internet connections via Mobile Broadband technology, assuming the masts are given enough capacity and support by the various Mobile Network Operators (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a>). The scheme will also benefit the United Kingdom&#8217;s overall coverage targets for mobile (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/06\/cla-calls-on-ofcom-to-force-uk-mobile-operators-to-fix-rural-not-spots.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Paul Wheelhouse, Scottish Connectivity Minister, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As part of our Mobile Action Plan we have legislated to reduce planning controls making it easier for operators to deploy new or existing infrastructure, and we are considering further actions in this regard.
