NIC finds good progress in rolling out fixed broadband across the UK The National Infrastructure Commission, which provides government with impartial, expert advice on major long term infrastructure challenges, has published its annual assessment of infrastructure progress in the UK. The Commission has found that the UK is currently on track to meet its target of 85 per cent coverage of gigabit capable networks by 2025, thanks primarily to the commitments of industry in their build plans and rollout completion. Furthermore, operators’ network deployment plans remain ambitious over the next few years, so government is likely to meet its target of nationwide (99 per cent) coverage by 2030 on current rates of deployment: https://lnkd.in/eEMjYPKQ #broadband #telecoms #infrastructure #connectivity #reports

A good piece from the Fiber Broadband Association on the cost of deployment to bring #FTTP. Highlights the importance for ISP's to leverage Goverment Grants and access to funding for infrastructure projects, while understanding what outliers create potential cost increases on their projects. #fiberoptic #MakingtheInternetBetter

I found this Insight from Andrew Spivey really interesting. With $42 billion at stake, this program has the potential to be transformative for broadband access in the United States. However, much of the coverage tends to be filtered through a partisan lens. This analysis offers an objective perspective. #broadband #digitalinclusion #connectivity #techpolicy #infrastructure #digitaltransformation #publicpolicy #telecommunications #broadbandaccess #futureoftech

Some crucial advocacy here!

The federal government recently issued guidance on exemptions to its Build America Buy America requirements for broadband infrastructure projects. This development could pave the way for more efficient acquisition of crucial components for high-speed Internet networks.
