Mobile phone coverage problems bad for business, minister says

Poor mobile phone coverage in parts of Wales is bad for business, a UK government minister has said.

Phone companies, customers and politicians will gather at the Cardiff offices of regulator Ofcom to discuss ways of tackling so-called "not spots".

Regulator Ofcom has said about 12% of Wales suffered from no mobile signal from any company, compared to 10% of the UK as a whole.

Wales Office minister Guto Bebb said good connectivity is essential for the Welsh economy.
