VXFIBER will then &#8220;<em>light up<\/em>&#8221; the fibre and supply the platform for ISPs to build and launch their own services to run over the network.<\/p>\n<p>VXFIBER said their platform would thus &#8220;<em>enable the Council to monetise its infrastructure and receive a return on its investment in a completely open access ecosystem where all service providers are welcome to deliver their services<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Abi Brown, Deputy Leader of Stoke-on-Trent City Council, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stoke-on-Trent has a brilliant central geographic location, which is boosting its economic growth beyond what much of the rest of the UK is experiencing at the moment. We\u2019re in the top ten fastest growing economies outside of London, we already have some of the fastest average <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> mobile download speeds in the country, and are developing an innovative district heat network to supply sustainable energy to business and residents.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re serious about becoming a sustainable, smart city. However, the traditional part copper based broadband offering currently available simply isn\u2019t good enough to keep pace with the fast-changing connectivity demands of today\u2019s increasingly digital society and economy.<\/p>\n<p>Full fibre Gigabit connectivity addresses these needs and is the cornerstone of our vision for the future growth and prosperity of our city and its residents and businesses. VXFIBER is playing a significant role in realising this vision in a way that\u2019s practical, affordable and flexible, to adapt and grow alongside our city and its connectivity needs.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Mikael Sandberg, VXFIBER Executive Chairman, added:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stoke-on-Trent is a forward-looking city that understands the essential role of high speed broadband access to businesses and individuals, and the positive social and economic impact it can have on a community. Our work with Stoke-on-Trent City Council provides a template for other UK local authorities and regional governments to follow. By investing in and installing Gigabit-speed fibre themselves, local authorities and councils can take charge of their community\u2019s \u201cdigital destiny\u201d, without having to rely on third party telecom operators or ISPs.<\/p>\n<p>Councils can reap the economic and social benefits of full fibre Gigabit connectivity in a way that\u2019s affordable and future-proof. Furthermore, the fibre they invest in is a valuable asset that will deliver ongoing revenue and ROI.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The announcement is excellent news for the city, although sadly there was no information about the expected roll-out plan or timescale beyond the initial deployment to the local Enterprise Zone. Likewise there is no mention of the cost or if any ISP partners have agreed to offer the service, although such things usually come a bit further down the road.<\/p>\n<p>Overall this sounds a lot like the same sort of anchor tenant style approach as we&#8217;ve seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> take in other parts of the United Kingdom. Just like those we&#8217;d urge caution with respect to the claims about covering local homes, until something more solid is confirmed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> has been talking about bringing 1Gbps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a> to their cities for many years but, ignoring the legacy network in Bournemouth, they&#8217;ve only fairly recently actually begun to do this on any kind of scale in the city of York (alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Broadband<\/a>) and are now about to do something much more significant with the help of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Suffice to say that at present this announcement seems to be more of an aspirational one.
