Landlord FAQs

Please find below some useful information and Frequently Asked Questions for Landlords at Cornerstone.

General information

Why is telecoms infrastructure needed?

Good quality digital infrastructure where we live, work or travel is needed to access online public services, social networks, as well as healthcare, retail, and financial services. A UK-wide rollout of mobile network coverage, broadband connectivity and fibre upgrades is needed to ensure everyone can fully realise the benefits of digitally integrated services and products.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us how vital it is for people to stay connected – from home working and schooling to staying in touch with family. Greater digital connectivity will reduce the ‘digital divide’ between remote and urban areas, strengthen national resilience during crises and support social inclusion for vulnerable socio-economic groups. (Source: www.gov.uk)

General information

What is the Electronic Communications Code?

The Electronic Communications Code regulates the relationship between Operators (including infrastructure providers) and Site Providers for the installation and maintenance of telecoms infrastructure on public and private land. It was revised in 2017 to address the growing public demand of digital connectivity and make it quicker and faster to rollout mobile infrastructure. However, since its revision, further clarity on how to use the Code was needed. Therefore, have been further changes made to the Code though the Product Security Telecommunications Infrastructure Bill.
