Some residential premises may also benefit under Phase 2 but the 30Mbps+ target might be reduced.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The scheme offered grants worth between<strong> \u00a3250 to \u00a33,000 +vat<\/strong> for individual premises \/ businesses (i.e. any small or medium sized firm of up to 249 employees with a turnover no greater than around \u00a342m per year) to help them get connected to a superfast broadband (30Mbps+) service.<\/p>\n<p>According to a leaked summary document of the two month long trial (Aug to Sep 2013), which took place in four cities including Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Manchester\/Salford, some <strong>\u00a32.25 million<\/strong> of public funding was deployed in the above named &#8220;<em>targeted priority areas<\/em>&#8220;. Apparently this represents 10% of those cities total voucher allocations under the Super Connected Cities Programme.<\/p>\n<p>Overall 59 suppliers (e.g. ISPs) registered to take part in the test and <strong>240 businesses received quotes<\/strong> from 28 of the suppliers for a broadband installation, which was out of <strong>690 total applications<\/strong> (this includes 443 conditional offers made with 12 rejected). The admin costs for handling all this were said to be &#8220;<em>good value for money<\/em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>in line with expectations<\/em>&#8220;. Apparently over \u00a31m was gobbled up to &#8220;<em>support connectivity<\/em>&#8221; (e.g. installations).<\/p>\n<p>The document reveals that 19 additional suppliers have expressed interest in being involved with <strong>Phase 2<\/strong> and some details of what this next phase might look like have also been revealed. In particular it&#8217;s stated that &#8220;<em>marginal inclusion of residential is permissible \u2026 but only where cities can demonstrate a case<\/em>&#8221; and only on a &#8220;<em>minority basis<\/em>&#8220;, which might be tricky.<\/p>\n<p>The document also states that phase 2 will &#8220;<em>consider whether there is an opportunity to be flexible around minimum speed required for business grade services<\/em>&#8221; and feedback on this has been requested from suppliers. Apparently this relates to the fact that some SMEs &#8220;<em>value the quality of service elements of business grade services and that a service under 30 Mbit\/s can represent a significant upgrade in capability<\/em>&#8220;. The speed of 30Mbps+ has already been watered down dramatically from the original 80-100Mbps+ target and we hope they don&#8217;t now set the bar even lower.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the other aspects to be discussed at the forthcoming industry day events (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/10\/government-invites-uk-isps-discuss-broadband-connection-vouchers.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>), which will be held in London on Friday 18th October and Monday 21st October, mirror the recent summary of responses to BDUK&#8217;s related consultation (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/09\/bduk-reveal-responses-broadband-connection-vouchers-consultation.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).
