The region suffered a \u00a3155m failure last year when the alternative <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalregion.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Region<\/a> network collapsed.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Digital Region project initially began life in <strong>2008<\/strong> with around <strong>\u00a3100m<\/strong> of public money and the aim of building an alternative network that could roll-out superfast broadband (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>) services to 80% of <strong>South Yorkshire<\/strong> (the longer term ambition was also to reach 97%), primarily because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> had shown little interest in doing so.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite reaching its 80% target in 2011, a toxic cocktail of poor advertising, zero support from the big ISPs (some didn&#8217;t want to step on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s tail), competition from BT&#8217;s own services and the resulting lack of customers (at the last count it had <strong>3,000 subscribers<\/strong> but needed 108,000 to be self-sufficient) meant that the network was burning masses of public money (roughly \u00a31m per month + a \u00a325m EU grant that needed to be repaid).<\/p>\n<p>As a result there were few surprises when in August 2013 and\u00a0following a failed proposal to rescue the network via a new owner and yet more public money, Digital Region formally announced its plans to <strong>close the network<\/strong>\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/08\/crippling-debt-forces-south-yorkshire-uk-digital-region-network-to-close.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). At the time it was said that closure of the network would save the taxpayer an estimated <strong>\u00a312.5 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The situation meant that some parts of South Yorkshire would once again be left without superfast broadband connectivity. But a new report from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/department-for-culture-media-sport\" target=\"_blank\">Department for Culture, Media and Sport<\/a> (DCMS) today has elaborated on what went wrong and also proposed a new \u00a310m BDUK scheme to improve local connectivity.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>A DCMS Spokesman said (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yorkshirepost.co.uk\/news\/main-topics\/general-news\/councils-stay-silent-as-ministers-propose-broadband-salvation-1-6368201\" target=\"_blank\">Yorkshire Post<\/a>):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>BDUK is ready to discuss how to take forward a project to deliver 90 per cent superfast coverage in South Yorkshire with the four local authorities involved. BDUK has earmarked (\u00a35m) funding for a South Yorkshire project \u2013 as for the rest of the country, we would expect that BDUK would provide 50 per cent of the necessary public funding and that local funding &#8211; including the option of European funding sources \u2013 would provide the other 50 per cent<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Government&#8217;s proposal would mirror the BDUK scheme in other areas and since BT is currently the only approved operator able to bid then it&#8217;s a fair bet that they&#8217;d take on the task of deployment via the usual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>\/P technologies. Curiously the DCMS statement makes no mention of private sector funding, although BT would normally be expected to put in some of its own investment in order to match-fund with the local authorities (Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley).<\/p>\n<p>But a deal is by no means done. The four South Yorkshire authorities are still attempting to find a buyer for what&#8217;s left of the Digital Region network (i.e. nobody likes to spend \u00a3155m only to scrap what&#8217;s left) and have linked that to any future plans, which means that the issue must be resolved before a deal can be agreed.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also possible that BT might have some interest in certain aspects of DRL&#8217;s remaining network, which could save them time on any future deployment in the area, but that&#8217;s just speculation on our part. GEO Networks has reportedly shown a similar interest.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Digital Region&#8217;s remaining customers (i.e. those who haven&#8217;t already migrated away) can expect to be contacted again within the next few weeks with\u00a0news of the final closure plans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 10:15am<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Added an extra bit of info. to note that GEO Network&#8217;s has also been sniffing around DRL and look more likely to grab it than BT, which doesn&#8217;t strictly need DRL&#8217;s infrastructure to make the new BDUK proposal work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Government has proposed a new \u00a310 million scheme, which would be based off its existing Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) programme, to help deploy superfast broadband services across 90% of South Yorkshire in England (most likely with BT&#8217;s help).
