Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

People living in large parts of the country cannot access 3G, new maps released by the telecoms regulator Ofcom show.

The maps represent the coverage provided by the major mobile networks, with the shaded areas indicating where it is possible for customers to gain access to the internet and email on their mobile.

While people in much of Britain have 3G access, there are still black spots in coverage in south-western England, northern England and East Anglia, as well as large areas of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. But access is still better than that in comparable countries, Ofcom said.

The regulator is working on solving the problems.
