The first is focused upon the rural <strong>Highlands and Islands<\/strong> area and the second covers the rest of Scotland. The HIE side is funded by <strong>\u00a3126.4m<\/strong> from public bodies (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/bduk\" target=\"_blank\">Broadband Delivery UK<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/scotgov\" target=\"_blank\">Scottish Government<\/a> etc.) and just <strong>\u00a319.4m<\/strong> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>.

It\u2019s the milestone that marks the first time access to fast fibre broadband has been provided to anyone in Scotland as part of this exciting programme.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Taking fibre broadband to the Highlands and Islands is the most challenging engineering project BT is tackling in the UK. It\u2019s a massive operation which includes the complexities of laying 20 subsea fibre cables in a six-month weather window kicking off in May so it\u2019s great to see our extensive planning and logistics paying off with a live cabinet here in Buckie.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The internet is playing an increasingly important part in all our lives \u2013 whether it\u2019s small businesses keeping in touch with their customers and suppliers, children doing their homework or playing interactive games online, grandparents staying in touch with their grandchildren, or people working from home. Each of these things is made easier, quicker and better by faster fibre broadband<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Combined with the current commercial roll-out plans, around 95% of premises in Scotland should have access to BT&#8217;s &#8220;fibre broadband&#8221; network by the end of 2017. But it&#8217;s interesting to note that Deputy First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, today described the target as &#8220;<em>95% of premises in Scotland covered by 2017\/18<\/em>&#8220;, which is the first time we&#8217;ve seen 2018 being mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth reminding that HIE are also running a \u00a35m <strong>Community Broadband Scotland<\/strong> (CBS) initiative, which claims to target those communities that are &#8220;<em>least likely to benefit from a next generation broadband solution under the Step Change Programme<\/em>&#8220;.
