The Scottish National Party<\/a> (P\u00e0rtaidh N\u00e0iseanta na h-Alba) has today published details of their 2024 Manifesto for the 4th July UK General Election, which sets out plans for a seemingly cheaper “statutory<\/em>” social tariff for broadband and mobile services.<\/p>\n

The SNP is the current party of government in Scotland and therefore we already know something about their approach to digital infrastructure, which is being headlined by their \u00a3600m Reaching 100% (R100<\/strong>) project. The R100 scheme largely involves working with Openreach<\/a> to extend \u201cfull fibre<\/em>\u201d (FTTP<\/a>) networks to another 114,000 premises<\/strong> – in areas that lack access to \u201csuperfast broadband<\/em>\u201d (30Mbps+) – by 2027\/28.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The responsibility for broadband in Scotland is reserved to Westminster, but that doesn\u2019t stop local and devolved authorities from making their own investments (e.g. R100). Ofcom<\/a> reports that 75% of Scotland could access a gigabit-capable broadband network in Jan 2024 (here<\/a>), while geographic 4G<\/a> coverage stands at between 60-78% for all operators. But the regulator predicts (here<\/a>) that gigabit coverage could reach 83-85% by May 2026.<\/div>\n

In addition, they’re also in the process of harnessing an investment of \u00a3450m from the national \u00a35bn Project Gigabit programme (example<\/a>), which should help to spread 1Gbps broadband speeds into some of the most remote rural areas of Scotland (benefitting up to around 410,000 premises<\/strong>). But this is a UK government programme and so doesn’t count as one of the SNP’s own policies.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say that we were interested to see what today’s SNP 2024 Manifesto<\/strong><\/a> (PDF) document might contain, at least in terms of any new commitments for digital infrastructure. This is particularly true after all the recent talk of a social tariff for broadband and mobile (here<\/a>), which caused a bit of controversy because such tariffs already exist (Guide to UK Social Tariffs<\/strong><\/a>) and it’s unclear how the SNP’s approach would differ.<\/p>\n

The bad news is that their document doesn’t add much to yesterday’s news. The only mention of broadband and mobile connectivity in the whole document was this little sentence: “Call for a statutory social tariff for energy, broadband and mobile charges for all who need one<\/em>.” The key bit of new detail here is that use of the word “statutory<\/em>“, while the current social tariffs have all been introduced under a voluntary model.<\/p>\n

However, it remains unclear whether the SNP would force all ISPs to adopt one or only the largest players, as well as what practical differences the SNP may ask providers to make. Not to mention the question of how ISPs will introduce a tariff that, if required to be different, may only be available to people in Scotland. The latter would be tedious for ISPs to juggle, especially around the border communities, where the dividing lines of availability could become contentious or confusing.<\/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":"
