The UK Government’s \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/a> rollout programme appears to have quietly confirmed that they now aim to deliver “full<\/em>” 1Gbps broadband coverage to the final 20% of hardest to reach premises by 2030 (effectively universal coverage), at least where it is “value for money to do so<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Just to recap. Until now, Project Gigabit has generally only tended to express its target as seeking to extend such speeds to reach at least 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025 and to then to get “as close to 100% as possible.<\/em>” But despite this, we’ve not previously seen a solid date being mentioned for when such universal coverage might actually be achieved.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> DCMS has already recognised that 0.3% of “Very Hard to Reach<\/em>” premises (i.e. under 100,000) will be too expensive for even Project Gigabit to tackle, and alternative options are currently being consulted on for those.<\/div>\n

The project has generally tended to assume that the first 80% of coverage would be achieved by commercial deployments using a mix of different technologies, which is a fairly safe assumption given that Virgin Media<\/a>’s DOCSIS<\/a> 3.1 upgrade is about to push coverage to c.65% by the end of 2021 and Openreach<\/a>’s FTTP<\/a> rollout alone expects to hit c.80% by December 2026 (25 million premises).<\/p>\n

The focus of Project Gigabit itself has thus always been laser focused on improving connectivity to those rural and semi-rural areas in the final 20% of homes and businesses (5-6 million premises<\/strong>), although they’ve long left a big question mark over when 99-100% coverage might actually be achieved.<\/p>\n

The “New” Goal?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

However, since the start of this month we’ve begun to notice the Government inserting mention of a new 2030 date, which – despite us having read through countless Project Gigabit reports and comments from politicians over the past two years – is not one that we can recall being included alongside any of their big public announcements before.<\/p>\n

Instead, such announcements have always preferred to use the 2025 data for 85%+ coverage, while avoiding setting a date for c.100% coverage (the language used is usually akin to complete UK-wide coverage “as soon as possible<\/em>” thereafter). This might be partly to avoid it looking like the Government had strayed too far from Boris Johnson’s poorly considered “full fibre for all by 2025<\/strong><\/em><\/a>” target, which was later watered down by reality.<\/p>\n

The first solid mention of 2030 under Project Gigabit, which we could find, cropped up earlier this month when the Minister of State for Education, Robin Walker<\/strong> (Conservative), gave a written response<\/a> to a question about the full fibre coverage of UK schools: “GigaHubs is one of the programmes DCMS is using to deliver the government ambition of gigabit capabilities across the UK by 2030<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

More recently, the DCMS Accounting Officer<\/a><\/strong> has issued a new assessment of the gigabit programme, which didn’t say anything particularly new but did list the objectives of the programme as follows:<\/p>\n

DCMS Accounting Assessment – Project Gigabit Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n

The objectives for the UK Gigabit Programme as set out in the draft Full Business Case are to:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u25cf Maximise gigabit-capable build in the final 20% by 2025;<\/p>\n

\u25cf Where it is value for money to provide gigabit-capable coverage, prioritise the delivery of gigabit-capable networks to premises without 30Mbps (superfast broadband) coverage;<\/p>\n

\u25cf Deliver full gigabit-capable coverage to the final 20% by 2030, where it is value for money to do so.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The “value for money<\/em>” reference above, in case it wasn’t already clear from our introduction, is really just another way of identifying the 0.3% of premises where Project Gigabit cannot reach due to high delivery costs, thus in practice we may be talking about a c.99.7% coverage target rather than 100%.<\/p>\n

No link is included to the referenced draft “Full Business Case<\/em>” above, although we did go back and look through many of BDUK’s recent Project Gigabit documents – including those from the earlier draft phase in 2020 – and were unable to find a single solid mention of the 2030 date. However, we have previously speculated on these pages that such a date would be a reasonable goal for the revised programme to target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
