The Scottish Government<\/a>’s Cabinet Secretary for the Economy, Kate Forbes, has issued a brief progress update on their \u00a3600m Reaching 100% (R100) project with BT<\/a> (Openreach<\/a>), which is busy extending fixed “superfast broadband<\/em>” (30Mbps+) coverage – the vast majority of which is coming via FTTP<\/a> – across rural parts of the country.<\/p>\n

Just to recap. The R100 programme is split between three contracts (LOTS) and focused on extending 30Mbps+ capable connectivity across as many of the final c.5% of poorly served premises in Scotland as possible. LOT 1<\/strong> (North Scotland and the Highlands) is expected to cover a further 59,276 premises (100% via FTTP<\/a>), while LOT 2<\/strong> (Central Scotland) will reach 32,216 premises (95.6% via FTTP<\/a> and the rest FTTC<\/a>) and LOT 3<\/strong> (Southern Scotland) will reach 20,740 premises (100% via FTTP).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The average cost to connect premises under R100 was recently revealed to be \u00a35,690 by Audit Scotland (here<\/a>).<\/div>\n

Overall, around 112,000 premises<\/strong> are now expected to be covered through the three R100 contracts by 2026\/27 – this largely reflects the delayed completion of LOT 1 following Gigaclear<\/a>’s earlier legal challenge (i.e. LOT 2\/3 are due to finish much sooner, around 2023\/24).<\/p>\n

The latest data released by Kate Forbes<\/strong> this week reveals that Openreach<\/a> and gigabit vouchers have so far completed the coverage for “more than<\/em>” 9,800 premises<\/strong>, which is up from 5,900 in Feb 2022 and 5,300 in Dec 2021. “We have, right now, a further 9,500 connections in-build, on top of the 9,800 connections that have already been delivered<\/em>,” added Forbes. But sadly, that’s all the detail we got.<\/p>\n

However, Forbes did make one final and interesting point, which was in response to a question about how the Scottish Government<\/a> will reach the remote rural areas that won’t benefit from R100.<\/p>\n

Kate Forbes said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I continue to engage with Openreach<\/a>, in particular, to see whether we can push the build even further and faster than is currently proposed. Again, understanding the importance of not just starting the job on some of our islands but completing it, I am also engaged with the UK Government to ensure that project gigabit funding helps to complete the job on our islands.<\/p>\n

Of course, one of the big challenges is the UK Government\u2019s arbitrary cap of \u00a37,000 for reaching rural properties. In other words, if it is going to cost more than \u00a37,000 to connect a property, the UK Government cannot help through project gigabit. However, we will try to ensure that all the jigsaw pieces of funding and support reach our islands and that we finish the job.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At the time of writing, we are still waiting to hear how Project Gigabit’s funding for Scotland will be handled (aka – Lot 39). But the Building Digital UK<\/a> (DCMS) programme has already determined that the final 0.3% of the UK (i.e. under 100,000 premises) may be too expensive for even Project Gigabit to reach (the proportional % will no doubt be higher in Scotland). A range of alternative proposals for this are currently still being consulting upon (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
