Firstly D-notices are only advisory, while the media tend to comply with them they are in no way legally enforceable.
Secondly central London has rather good wifi and 4G coverage. Presumably the "appropriate contingency plans" are to switch his phone's personal hotspot on and carry on as normal. Though there might be a nasty phone bill coming down the line.
