The same network could also be harnessed to help improve local business and home broadband connectivity, albeit requiring separate private investment. The follow-on <strong>GigaHubs<\/strong> scheme, under Project Gigabit, will also be separately evaluated by Belmana, Hatch and GC Insights (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/bduk-hub-evaluation-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/shared-rural-network-evaluation-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">second brief<\/a> reveals that BDUK has commissioned Ipsos UK and partners to undertake an evaluation of the \u00a31bn industry-led <strong>Shared Rural Network<\/strong> (SRN) Programme, which has helped to extend geographic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> mobile coverage from \u2018at least one operator\u2019 to 95% of the UK and will continue to expand until the start of 2027. This project involved both the construction of new masts and the sharing of existing ones between the operators.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/project-gigabit-evaluation-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">third brief<\/a> confirms that BDUK has commissioned Ipsos UK and partners to undertake an evaluation of their headline \u00a35bn <strong>Project Gigabit<\/strong> scheme, which includes the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy (GIS) interventions and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/gbvs\" target=\"_blank\">Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme<\/a> (GBVS). The overall goal of this has been to help extend gigabit broadband to c.99% of premises by 2032 (recently delayed from the original target of 2030).<\/p>\n<p>Such evaluations are typically conducted periodically, usually once a programme has been up and running for a while (i.e. so there&#8217;s actually something to evaluate in the first place). The prior Superfast Broadband (SFBB) programme saw several evaluations and so did related schemes (examples <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2021\/10\/bduk-publish-new-evaluation-of-uk-superfast-broadband-project.html\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2023\/09\/bduk-analysis-shows-benefits-of-uk-phase-3-superfast-broadband-project.html\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2023\/12\/bduk-publish-evaluations-of-uk-gigabit-broadband-programmes.html\">here<\/a>), so this is really just a continuation of that approach (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/collections\/building-digital-uk-research-portal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BDUK page for past evaluations<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a small but interesting update, the Government\u2019s Building Digital UK (BDUK) agency has announced a string of new studies to evaluate the performance, delivery and value of its various mobile and broadband roll-out programmes &#8211; including Project Gigabit, Local Full Fibre Networks (LFFN), Shared Rural Network (SRN) and GigaHubs (extension of LFFN).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":39367,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[56,38,1997,34],"class_list":["post-42816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-fttp","tag-politics","tag-uk-gigabit-programme","tag-statistics"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@ispreview\/115032403937573376","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
