The existing contracts are expected to run until the end of 2017 and during that time a further 90,000 or so premises should be added to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>\/P network coverage.<\/p>\n<p>However the project in Wales has also suffered a few delays, some of which can be administrative and others may relate to more complicated engineering challenges like blocked cable ducts, traffic (road) management and disruption from bad weather (particularly during winter in rural areas). Now the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-wales-38773942\" target=\"_blank\">BBC<\/a> has reported that around <strong>40,000 premises<\/strong> in the planned upgrade are being delayed by <strong>wayleave <\/strong>disputes with land owners.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Alwen Williams, Director of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> Wales, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Way-leaves have been &#8211; and continue to be &#8211; one of our most significant challenges &#8211; getting permissions to access the land that we need to access in order to lay the fibre cables. At the moment we have around 40,000 homes and businesses that are held up because we have a complex discussion or negotiation going on with various parties about how to gain access to land or permissions to dig, road closures.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alwen admits that the problem is &#8220;<em>absolutely immense.<\/em>&#8221; The fact that <a href=\"http:\/\/gov.wales\/broadband\" target=\"_blank\">Superfast Cymru<\/a> is now reaching more rural centric areas may also be exasperating the issue because this is where the need to secure constructive wayleave agreements with land owners (i.e. rural businesses, farmers, private estates etc.) can become much trickier.<\/p>\n<p>Much as we reported yesterday (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/01\/landowners-pursue-uk-government-deal-broadband-infrastructure.html\">here<\/a>), wayleave agreements represent a legal written consent, which allows infrastructure providers access to carry out work on privately owned land. The industry has already done a lot of work to develop a more standardised approach, but landowners may sometimes demand high rental prices for new infrastructure and can be worried about the impact of new infrastructure on their property.<\/p>\n<p>The Government has been pushing to tackle this issue by revising the <strong>Electronic Communications Code<\/strong> (ECC), although that threatens to reduce the income that landowners may receive from related agreements and thus opposition continues to be stiff.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/welshgov\" target=\"_blank\">Welsh Government<\/a> didn&#8217;t really respond to the problem itself. Instead the Welsh Minister for Skills and Science, Julie James, said she was &#8220;<em>frustrated<\/em>&#8221; with the information that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> has been giving out and this is apparently one of the reasons why they &#8220;<em>took over the [<a href=\"http:\/\/gov.wales\/broadband\" target=\"_blank\">Superfast Cymru<\/a>] website last summer<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Apparently the new website has been &#8220;<em>improved &#8230; dramatically<\/em>&#8221; since then, although the new one doesn&#8217;t seem to mention the project&#8217;s coverage targets or timescales and its availability checker merely appears to be a vague implementation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s own availability test. No regular progress updates are provided about the roll-out itself, although they\u2019re by no means the only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/bduk\" target=\"_blank\">Broadband Delivery UK<\/a> supported scheme to have that problem.<\/p>\n<p>On a more positive note the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/welshgov\" target=\"_blank\">Welsh Government<\/a> are in the process of examining how &#8216;up to&#8217; <strong>\u00a380m<\/strong> of BT clawback and additional public money could be put towards bringing faster broadband to areas that are likely to miss out at the end of the current contract (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/11\/wales-commits-80m-expand-roll-superfast-broadband.html\">here<\/a>). The vague aim is to bring 30Mbps+ broadband coverage &#8220;<em>to the hardest to reach premises across Wales<\/em>&#8221; by <strong>2020<\/strong> (deployment starting in January 2018) and a deal could be signed in the latter half of 2017. But wayleaves could easily become a problem for the new deal too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 30th Jan 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve been chatting to Andrew from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/thinkbroadband\" target=\"_blank\">Thinkbroadband<\/a>, who recently gave evidence to the Welsh Assembly on the above matter, and he is fairly confident that most of the delayed c.40,000 premises reflect the outstanding <strong>Fibre-to-the-Premise<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>) commitment in the Welsh Government&#8217;s contract with BT (this matches up with TBB&#8217;s mapping of the current deployment progress).<\/p>\n<p>One partial solution to this could be to install less <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> and more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/vdsl\">VDSL2<\/a> cabinets like we saw occur in England during BDUK Phase 1, although this won&#8217;t solve all of the problems. Andrew also noted that the Welsh Minister for Skills and Science, Julie James, appears to be pushing for a non-BT solution to help tackle the remaining gap after the current contracts have completed and this may involve more <strong>Fixed Wireless Access<\/strong> (FWA).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Problems with gaining access to private land are reportedly delaying the Welsh Government&#8217;s joint Superfast Cymru project with Openreach (BT) to roll-out faster &#8220;fibre broadband&#8221; (FTTC\/P) services to around 40,000 extra homes and businesses in Wales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[474,471,55,56,38,71],"class_list":["post-13380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-bduk","tag-fttc","tag-fttp","tag-politics","tag-wales"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
