Because at present its the only show in town. The British Government
sold off the UK competition OneWeb to Eutelsat and they are only now
offering only high-end expensive solutions because we didn't have any billionaires (insert Branson hate memes at this point) who wanted to
invest in the UK.

In much of Scotland mobile coverage is poor, perhaps we should have
spent some of the cash we got from the Spectrum Auction putting masts in
rural areas but of course that would spoil the scenery..

Mobile operators have been rolling out networks using dummy trees and
other disguises for more than 30 years

I wonder how the roll out of the Emergency Services Network is increasing
rural coverage for civilian (EE) users? Presumably coverage is needed along rail routes?

oddly, roads, metro/trams and tube systems get mentioned, but
traditional Rail no mention of whatsoever...
