The Party of Wales (Plaid Cymru)<\/a> has today become the latest political party to publish a Manifesto for the 4th July 2024 UK General Election, which we’ll take a brief look at below because it includes a couple of commitments related to broadband and mobile connectivity.<\/p>\n

The Plaid Cymru Manifesto for the Westminster General Election 2024<\/a> (PDF) document, which has just been published this morning, states that it would “seek to invest in our digital infrastructure and guarantee a high-speed <\/em>connection to every home and business<\/em>“, albeit without giving a clear timescale or any funding figures (there’s also a question mark over how they define “high-speed<\/em>“).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Ofcom<\/a> reports that 69% of Wales could access a gigabit-capable broadband network in Jan 2024 (here<\/a>), while geographic 4G<\/a> coverage stands at between 74-87% for all operators. But the regulator predicts (here<\/a>) that gigabit coverage could reach around 89-93% by May 2026.<\/div>\n

However, after digging a bit deeper into the document, we did manage to uncover the following statement: “Plaid Cymru has previously called for the establishment of a Welsh Broadband Infrastructure Company. We have also called for the UK Government to release more Project Gigabit money increasing the investment to tackle the \u201cvery hard to reach areas\u201d or the \u201ctotal not-spots\u201d where there is no fast broadband or 4G<\/a> signal at all and bring the timescales forward. We will also push for more investment in alternative technology projects especially in the \u201cvery hard to reach\u201d areas e.g. small cell projects \/ Fixed Wireless Access<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Overall, it’s quite vague, but the important thing is that they’re at least referencing digital infrastructure as an area that needs further improvement, which is always a positive thing. But like so many other election manifestos, we’d really like to see a bit more detail on the delivery, funding and timescale side.<\/p>\n

In particular, we’d like to know more about how their Welsh Broadband Infrastructure Company<\/strong> would work and how it would fit in with the country’s existing selection of competitive operators and network build, such as the ongoing projects from Virgin Media<\/a> \/ nexfibre<\/a>, Openreach<\/a>, Netomnia<\/a>, Ogi<\/a> and others.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Readers should always take political pledges, from any party, with a pinch of salt until there\u2019s more solid detail (something manifestos often lack). We also ask readers who comment on these manifestos to kindly avoid the usual level of toxic and abusive political commentary that sadly sometimes flows from such debates (such comments may not be approved).<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
