The Government’s Building Digital UK<\/a> agency has published the outcome of last year’s reviews into several key urban areas under their \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/a><\/strong> broadband rollout, which looked to identify which parts of Greater London, Merseyside and Greater Manchester, Newcastle and Birmingham might be left unserved.<\/p>\n

Firstly, the usual recap. Project Gigabit aims to extend networks capable of delivering \u201cgigabit<\/em>\u201d (1000Mbps) download speeds to \u201cat least<\/em>\u201d 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025 and then \u201cnationwide<\/em>\u201d coverage (c.99%) by around 2030 (here<\/a>). The funding released for this will depend upon how the industry responds, but so far over \u00a32bn<\/strong> worth of procurements and contracts are already in the pipeline (more will follow).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Commercial builds alone \u2013 mostly in urban areas \u2013 have already pushed gigabit coverage to over 76% of UK premises, and it should reach 80%+ by the end of 2025 without state aid. The project will thus focus public funding on the hardest final 20% (often rural and semi-rural).<\/div>\n

However, last year BDUK signalled a potential future interest in tackling some urban notspots for gigabit coverage too (here<\/a>), which they did by conducting several Public Reviews (PR) of related coverage across a number of significant urban areas in England. Just for extra context, we recently published an explainer to highlight why it is that some normally lucrative parts of dense urban areas end up being missed out by private builds (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The reviews aimed to identify the limitations of planned commercial deployments in each of the aforementioned areas, which tend to designate homes and businesses (premises) as being “Gigabit White<\/em>” if they aren’t expected to benefit from commercial deployments over the next 3 years.<\/p>\n

On top of that, it’s also worth paying attention to the figure for “Under Review<\/em>” properties, which reflects premises where suppliers have reported planned commercial broadband coverage, but where those plans have been judged as potentially being at risk of not being completed.<\/p>\n

Birmingham and the Black Country (Lot 35)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

ORIGINAL Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The original Open Market Review (OMR) indicated that planned commercial coverage for gigabit-capable broadband would reach approximately 888,945 premises, and would therefore leave the remaining 208,438 premises without access to gigabit-capable broadband.<\/p>\n

Final Public Review Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gigabit “White” Premises: 102,035<\/p>\n

Under Review Premises: 89,058<\/p>\n

Greater London (Lot 37)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

ORIGINAL Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The original OMR indicated that planned commercial coverage for gigabit-capable broadband would reach approximately 2,632,316 premises, and would therefore leave the remaining 1,704,232 premises without access to gigabit-capable broadband.<\/p>\n

Final Public Review Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gigabit “White” Premises: 604,657<\/p>\n

Under Review Premises: 549,249<\/p>\n

Merseyside and Greater Manchester (Lot 36)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

ORIGINAL Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The original OMR indicated that planned commercial coverage for gigabit-capable broadband would reach approximately 1,549,670 premises, and would therefore leave the remaining 569,694 premises without access to gigabit-capable broadband.<\/p>\n

Final Public Review Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gigabit “White” Premises: 166,380<\/p>\n

Under Review Premises: 347,263<\/p>\n

Newcastle and North Tyneside (Lot 38)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

ORIGINAL Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The original OMR indicated that planned commercial coverage for gigabit-capable broadband would reach approximately 184,945 premises, and would therefore leave the remaining 71,441 premises without access to gigabit-capable broadband.<\/p>\n

Final Public Review Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gigabit “White” Premises: 5,238<\/p>\n

Under Review Premises: 63,361<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

All of this has helped BDUK to identify the \u201csmall pockets of poor urban digital connectivity [that] will remain unserved by the commercial market without government intervention<\/em>.\u201d But it’s worth noting that the above procurements have recently been removed from Project Gigabit’s pipeline while they ascertain the best approach to use for serving such premises.<\/p>\n

The agency is currently engaging the market, councils and other local stakeholders on the most suitable solutions for each of the identified areas. Due to this, we don’t yet know precisely what the plan will be, although clearly there are some big gaps left to fill. But any use of public investment in urban areas like this tends to raise concerns over the use of a potentially anticompetitive market subsidy, which may limit BDUK’s options (this is how we ended up with the original voucher scheme).<\/p>\n

Finally, if you’re wondering why there’s no mention of Cardiff (Wales) or Edinburgh (Scotland), then that’s largely because the approach in those countries is still being finalised – due in part to the usual issues of devolved borders and politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
