Summary

MPs Geir Inge Lien, Bent-Joacim Bentzen, and Erling Sande proposed that the government ensure mobile coverage on all public roads in Norway by 2030. The Standing Committee on Municipal and General Affairs notes that the Minister of Digitalisation has stated full coverage by 2030 is unrealistic with current tools and costs would be prohibitive. The committee recommends the Storting reject the proposal, though the Centre Party submitted its own motion supporting the original plan.
