Company Description
We are a consultancy formed in 2001 with the objective of advising the public and private sectors on cost-effective, sustainable implementation of broadband.
The problem our feasibility study project is trying to solve
The Digital Britain process identified the problem of bringing next generation access to rural areas. One of the solutions proposed was a 50p monthly levy on all fixed phone lines in order to fund NGA across the country by 2017. Estimates for the cost of bringing NGA to all rural areas, the 'final third' were in the region of £10 to £20 billion. What our study aiming to achieve
A review of a typical rural area to evaluate the most cost effective technologies that will meet the NGA requirements in terms of businesses, consumer and public sector requirements. The potential benefits
Potential removal of the pariah status of rural communities. Saving of £billions of public money (taxes) to support the rollout of NGA in rural areas. What we need to do next
Extend the work to look at other rural areas across England and to hone the cost and demand models.
