I disagree slightly with Deputy Moynihan. That a person can now watch a movie on a smartphone in a car travelling down a motorway but may not be able to make a phone call is becoming an issue. However, if the issue is with the mobile phone provider, there needs to be a health warning with mobile phones that they do not actually do what they are supposed to do. ComReg needs to do its job in the first instance and identify if that is the case. Why can ComReg not test on the other roads? It is a simple question. What happens if we discover that phones and devices are not doing what they are supposed to do? Surely ComReg has an obligation to service users to test all the routes. Why is it not testing them?
