The government should nationalise all the cellular towers and then sell radio airtime to the carriers just like the electric grid. Having multiple companies maintain separate infrastructure (that in the vast majority of cases isn't shared between them) is extremely wasteful and provides a worse service for everyone (a roaming foreigner would actually get a better experience than a UK resident as their SIM would seamlessly roam across all available carriers).
