The U.K.'s Office of Communications said Tuesday that it has
opened separate investigations into Vodafone Group PLC (VOD.LN) and
BT Group PLC (BT.A.LN), after it found errors in cellphone-coverage
data.
The British telecommunications regulator launched two separate
probes to determine whether the companies fulfilled their
obligation to provide accurate information, it said.
Ofcom found errors in data provided by BT's EE brand that
overpredicted its 3G coverage, particularly in rural areas, the
regulator said. It also identified errors in Vodafone data that
underpredicted the company's 4G coverage.
