The Scottish Government<\/a> has unveiled an extension of their existing \u00a3600m Reaching 100% (R100) contract with BT<\/a> (Openreach<\/a>), which will see a further \u00a336m being invested to cover an additional 2,637 rural properties with a gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) based broadband ISP network. But completion is now 2028!<\/p>\n

The original R100 project was split between three contracts (LOTS) and focused on extending “superfast<\/em>” 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> were expected to be covered through the three R100 contracts by around 2026\/27 – this window 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). According to the last update in July 2022 (here<\/a>), only around 9,800 premises have so far been completed (up from 5,900 in Feb 2022).<\/p>\n

However, the latest extension will add another 2,637 premises<\/strong> to the current target (total of c. 115,000), which mostly reflects an extension to LOT 1 and LOT 3.<\/p>\n

R100 Extension Summary<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a4 The North Lot contract extension covers an additional 1,488 premises in the following council areas: Argyll and Bute, Na h-Eileanan Siar (Outer Hebrides), Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 The South Lot contract extension covers an additional 1,149 premises in: Dumfries and Galloway, East Ayrshire, East Lothian, Midlothian, Scottish Borders, South Ayrshire and South Lanarkshire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The North Lot extension will receive \u00a320.2 million from the Scottish Government<\/a> and \u00a39.4 million from the UK Government. The South Lot extension is being funded with \u00a36.6 million from the UK Government\u2019s Project Gigabit programme. BT<\/a> is also providing an additional supplier contribution of \u00a30.9 million in the South Lot and \u00a30.8 million in the North Lot.<\/p>\n

However, the change means that their South Lot extension is now expected to be complete by March 2025, while the North Lot extension won’t finish until March 2028!<\/p>\n

Ivan McKee, Scottish Business Minister, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This latest investment will connect more homes and businesses in Scotland\u2019s rural and island communities to gigabit capable broadband. That will have far reaching economic, social and development impacts.<\/p>\n

Our R100 programme is going further, and providing faster broadband, than originally envisaged. This takes time and significant investment, but we are fully committed to ensuring that as many people as possible are able to enjoy the important advantages of this future-proofed digital infrastructure.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Matt Warman, UK Digital Infrastructure Minister, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Bringing lightning-fast and reliable broadband to hard-to-reach areas is at the heart of the UK Government’s mission to level up communities, and that’s exactly what we’re doing in Scotland with our additional \u00a316 million investment in R100.<\/p>\n

We’ve already delivered faster broadband to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses across Scotland and there is even more investment on the way thanks to Project Gigabit, our record \u00a35 billion programme to bring growth and prosperity to rural areas by putting them in the digital fast lane.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Robert Thorburn, Openreach<\/a> Scotland Partnership Director, said: <\/strong><\/p>\n

“Connecting these properties one by one is one of the biggest broadband challenges in Europe. To make the most efficient use of resources, we\u2019ll align the R100 build with our own rural investment. This will help us to get engineers and equipment to the most remote places, where they\u2019re needed. We\u2019ll continue to explore every option to reach more rural homes, faster.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All of this is good news. However, using \u00a336m to reach just 2,637 premises returns an eye-watering per-premises build cost of \u00a313,651, which is quite a striking figure and appears to confirm that this is going to some of the remotest locations. It’s also a reminder of just how difficult it is to make a viable economic model to push a full fibre network into such locations.<\/p>\n

We also find it interesting that this is being announced before the Building Delivery UK team and SG have set out precisely how Project Gigabit’s funding allocation for Scotland will be handled (aka – Lot 39). We suspect the goal is to maximise the current contracts as much as is allowable, before beginning a new procurement. This is a quicker route to deployment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
