Ofcom’s Strategic Direction:
1. A strategic shift to large scale investment in more fibre
2. To reduce the UK’s dependency on Openreach
3. To achieve full competition between three or more networks for 40% of premises…
“The UK will be a world leader in the availability
and capability of its digital networks”
“The best driver for investment and innovation
is network based competition”
Government’s Policy Direction:
1. Positions full fibre and 5G at the heart of the UK’s Industrial Strategy & Digital Strategy
2. £1.1b of support to full fibre & 5G initiatives
• £740m from the National Productivity Investment Fund:
• £400m Digital Infrastructure Investment Fund – match funded to become £800m+
3. Initiatives to encourage local government support full fibre initiatives:
• £200m (of the £740m) announced in the 2017 Budget to support local full fibre initiatives
“When it comes to digital
infrastructure, we all want to be
world leaders, right? I certainly want
that for Britain”
“Full Fibre and 5G are the future”
