The plan was to roll-out an ultrafast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a> network to pass more than 200 local homes (some reports claim 400+ homes but the project itself only ever targeted 200) but three years later it was in trouble.<\/p>\n<p>The initial estimated cost from ICS was \u00a363,000 plus an additional \u00a367,000 for customer connections. But in October 2012 ISC dramatically pulled out of the project after admitting that it had spent nearly <strong>\u00a3500,000<\/strong> installing the network and had only managed to pass a small proportion of the expected premises. Apparently any further expansion would have required significant new investment, which ICS deemed to be &#8220;<em>financially unviable<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellingparishcouncil.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Selling-Broadband-Project-Review.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">recent report<\/a> from<strong> Kent County Council<\/strong> estimated that &#8220;<em>the costs involved in providing a [complete <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a>] system to Selling would likely cost in region of \u00a31.5 million<\/em>&#8221; and the projects failings were also blamed on &#8220;<em>a combination of factors ranging from inappropriate governance for the scale of project funding, poor overall project management and fragmented delivery, unhelpful communications and a lack of community cohesion to pull behind the project<\/em>&#8221; (the latter is very important as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/b4rn\" target=\"_blank\">B4RN<\/a> shows \u2013 it\u2019s a lot cheaper if local people help to build the network).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile KCC has been left to cover the on-going running costs and yet many parts of Selling continue to remain without access to good connectivity.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Selling Parish Council Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The failure of the ICS project evoked a lot of emotion and raised a lot of questions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We are planning an open public meeting, in the autumn, where the parties involved will give their views on the project.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The meeting is arranged for 4th December at 7:00pm, in the village hall.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So what to do next?
