Our ability to enjoy world-class digital connectivity shouldn\u2019t be determined by where we live or work. It\u2019s not just a social case for national coverage, but a clear economic one.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses have already invested heavily in digital infrastructure. In fact, the private sector will provide most of the \u00a333 billion total investment needed to deliver full fibre networks across the UK. But Government must help firms access those hard to reach areas.<\/p>\n<p>2019 must be a year of rapid uptake. First by extending support for businesses to help small firms adopt existing technologies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> and full fibre. And second, by expanding trials in new technology like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> so businesses can explore the art of the possible with seamless connectivity.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The CBI has also identified several areas for the Government to tackle as a priority.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Government Recommendations Include:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>* Fast-track laws for firms to install internet connections in existing homes for private tenants and ensuring all new properties have full fibre or other gigabit cables installed when they\u2019re built.<\/p>\n<p>* Equip all new train lines and other transport projects with full fibre cables<\/p>\n<p>* Get businesses ready for 5G adoption by raising awareness of its uses and how firms can use it &#8211; through government trials.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We note that two consultations related to improving access for fibre optic broadband into new build homes and existing buildings have already occurred (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/10\/autumn-uk-budget-2018-confirms-200m-full-fibre-funding-boost.html\">here<\/a>), with an outcome expected soon. However it&#8217;s worth noting that running fibre alongside all new train lines isn&#8217;t likely to help improve overall coverage of Gigabit broadband, at least not by as much as you might think (core fibre coverage already exists in areas around most train routes).<\/p>\n<p>Likewise we&#8217;re unsure about the merits of getting businesses &#8220;<em>ready for 5G adoption<\/em>&#8221; before the new network and related services have even been deployed or launched (i.e. drumming up interest only to then say, &#8220;<em>sorry, it&#8217;s not available yet and won&#8217;t be here for awhile,<\/em>&#8221; seems unproductive).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Confederation of British Industry has warned that Brexit is &#8220;sucking the oxygen out of priorities&#8221; like deploying &#8220;full fibre&#8221; (FTTP) broadband and 5G.
