With the legacy copper networks in these areas soon to be made obsolete, we look forward to providing all Internet Service Providers a powerful new network from which to better serve their customers.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Deploying into rural areas is often much more challenging for operators like CityFibre, which have traditionally tended to focus on relatively quick and easy urban builds. As such, it will be interesting to see how much progress they make over the next few years, although this is something they&#8217;ve been planning to do for a long time and the level of investment involved is a fair indication that they understand the costs.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, we still wouldn&#8217;t be at all surprised if the cost per premises passed ended up being higher than currently forecast, which is an issue that other networks have run in to before with such contracts.
