> ”Building and maintaining infrastructure for low-density population areas is extremely capital intensive.” The solution is to share infrastructure in sparsely populated areas where it would be uneconomic for each operator to build it's own. The UK, despite being vastly smaller and denser than Canada, has long had poor mobile coverage in rural areas. The UK government is now requiring (and contributing funding towards) geographical 95% coverage by 2026. Operators will use shared rural infrastructure to achieve this. https://www.mobileuk.org/shared-rural-network https://www.mobileuk.org/shared-rural-network https://www.gov.uk/government/news/shared-rural-network https://www.gov.uk/government/news/shared-rural-network
