The UK Government’s (DCMS) Building Digital UK<\/a> team, which is responsible for implementing much of their “full fibre<\/em>” and gigabit broadband deployment plans, has begun piloting a new consumer led (instead of supplier led) approach for the Rural Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As most people know the \u00a3200m Rural Gigabit Connectivity<\/a><\/strong> (RGC) programme is designed to help homes and businesses in some of the most remote rural UK locations to access significantly faster broadband. One part of that involves a voucher scheme, which offers up to \u00a33,500 for small businesses or up to \u00a31,500 for residents to help them get an ultrafast or “gigabit-capable<\/em>” broadband ISP connection installed (at present 22% of UK premises can access a gigabit-capable service – here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The RGC voucher scheme is due to run until March 2021, but a larger follow-on scheme may follow.<\/div>\n

All of this is helping to keep the rural (outside-in) focused build of new Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) networks going, at least until the Government’s new \u00a35bn<\/strong> programme begins to take over in the near future (here<\/a>). But as part of this strategy BDUK are keen to make their vouchers even more accessible and as such they’re piloting the addition of a consumer led approach via a new website.<\/p>\n

According to a social media post by one of BDUK’s Programme Directors, Justin Leese<\/strong>, the new website enables individuals or communities to register their interest in getting a voucher. By doing this the community becomes visible to suppliers and they in turn can then express an interest in providing the service (sounds a bit like a dating \/ match-making site.. for vouchers).<\/p>\n

Justin Leese said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, whilst remaining supplier agnostic we essentially walk the customers up one side of the hill, the suppliers up the other side and let them make their own introductions at the top! The pilot is in West Wales, Cornwall and Borderlands.<\/p>\n

Because we hope to launch this nationally at a later date we’ve talked about the standard Rural voucher values (\u00a31,500 res and \u00a33,500 biz) but of course for this pilot there are top ups available in Wales and Borderlands that further increase the voucher value. (And of course a growing number of top ups in other parts of the UK such as Kent, West Sussex, Dorset and Hampshire).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The new Broadband Upgrade Fund<\/strong><\/a> website is already live and, as above, is initially only available (as a pilot) to rural premises in Cornwall, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Cumbria and Northumberland \/ Borderlands (suppliers can separately register their interest<\/a>). Consumers can check their eligibility via a postcode before applying.<\/p>\n

Overall this looks like a clever approach and one that should be much more accessible for ordinary people, provided they’re made aware of it (hopefully this article will help).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
