The recommendation, if adopted, would mark a massive change from the EU&#8217;s existing <strong>Digital Agenda<\/strong> strategy to make <strong>30Mbps+<\/strong> available to 100% of households by 2020 (with 50% being within reach of a 100Mbps+ service).<\/p>\n<p>By comparison the UK government\u2019s plan, which aims to make speeds of <strong>25Mbps+<\/strong> available to 90% of people by March 2015 (i.e. the last 10% would get speeds of at least 2Mbps), looks incredibly feeble. But if Europe were to turbo-charge the Digital Agenda strategy then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>, which owns most of the UK&#8217;s underlying telecoms network, would surely shoulder the burden of that change.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> Spokesperson told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>We believe that the UK is already in the vanguard of fibre deployment in a European context; BT aims to cover around two-thirds of UK premises with fibre during Spring 2014, and we support the Government&#8217;s ambition for the UK to have the best broadband amongst major European countries by 2015.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Fibre broadband offers tremendous benefits to economy and society<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However BT, mindful of the huge costs that could result from rolling out a fully fibre optic (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>\/H) broadband service to 100% of homes and businesses (estimates range from \u00a315bn to \u00a330bn), warned that such proposals also needed to balance &#8220;<em>important factors<\/em>&#8220;, such as &#8220;<em>coverage, speed and affordability for consumers<\/em>&#8220;, in order to &#8220;<em>achieve maximum take-up<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>BT then called upon the ITRE committee to release a &#8220;<em>detailed economic modelling<\/em>&#8221; of its proposal because the current public and private investment for improving connectivity to the &#8220;<em>final third<\/em>&#8221; (33%) of UK premises totals around <strong>\u00a34bn<\/strong> (hard to pin down until all of the related projects have been agreed). That\u2019s well short of what would be needed to deliver a national fibre optic network.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly the idea that BT is at the &#8220;<em>vanguard<\/em>&#8221; (i.e. forward element of an advancing military formation) of this effort is really a matter of perspective. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/pointtopic\" target=\"_blank\">Point Topic<\/a>&#8217;s first <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2012\/11\/point-topic-release-map-of-superfast-broadband-coverage-in-uk-and-europe.html\" target=\"_blank\">EU Maps of superfast broadband availability<\/a> showed yesterday, the UK sits roughly in the lower middle of the pack and is by no means ahead in terms of NGA coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile BT&#8217;s superfast broadband roll-out has been dominated by its distance dependent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> (VDSL) technology, which can at best deliver speeds of <strong>up to 80Mbps<\/strong> (possibly 100Mbps+ in the next year but many homes will get far less). BT intends to use this solution as its method of choice for making superfast services available to 90% of homes and businesses by 2017 (BT is dependent upon state aid to get beyond 66% coverage). So in reality it probably couldn&#8217;t deliver <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">real-world speeds<\/span> of at least 100Mbps to 100% of households via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The future <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>-On-Demand<\/strong> solution should be able to solve this by making speeds of 330Mbps+ available\u00a0to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> lines from next spring 2013, although it&#8217;s important to stress that this would not actually &#8220;<em>cover<\/em>&#8221; anything until after you have had\u00a0it installed (it effectively has to be built for each individual home). In addition some premises could cost several thousand pounds to install and that&#8217;s likely to be too expensive for most home users.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal for delivering 100Mbps to all by 2020\u00a0remains extremely difficult to achieve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BT has said that the United Kingdom is already in the &#8220;vanguard of fibre deployment&#8221; within Europe and called upon the European Parliament\u2019s ITRE Committee to release detailed economic modelling to support their latest proposal, which demands speeds of 100Mbps for every home in the EU by 2020.<\/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":[474,471,37,52,65,56,38],"class_list":["post-2076","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-bduk","tag-digital-agenda","tag-fibre-optic","tag-ftth","tag-fttp","tag-politics"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
