As with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/b4rn\" target=\"_blank\">B4RN<\/a>&#8217;s primary project, B4YS will be built by the community and funded through local investment (i.e. no government grants).<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that B4YS are extremely close to hitting their first funding target of around <strong>\u00a3100,000<\/strong> to cover the cost of <strong>Stage One<\/strong>, which involves building a fibre optic link between all of the three village halls. Overall they&#8217;ve already managed to secure <strong>77% of the total funding<\/strong>, which breaks down as follows.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Stage One Funding Progress<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Yealands<\/strong> \u2013 target: \u00a325,000 \u2013 current level: 55% raised<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 Silverdale<\/strong> \u2013 target: \u00a338,000 \u2013 current level: 68% raised<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 Storth<\/strong> \u2013 target: \u00a338,000 \u2013 current level: 100% raised<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The stage one funds will primarily be used to buy materials and equipment for the network, which locals and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/b4rn\" target=\"_blank\">B4RN<\/a> will then help to build. But constructing the core link is only the first stage and <strong>Stage Two<\/strong> will involve bringing that service to individual homes and businesses, which is currently predicted to cost roughly the same as stage one (total of around \u00a3200k).<\/p>\n<p>In theory, assuming all goes according to plan, locals could be connecting to the new service from sometime in 2015. Interestingly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/bduk\" target=\"_blank\">Broadband Delivery UK<\/a> (BDUK) scheme intends to roll-out a slower but still quite capable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> service in some of the same area (Storth), possibly by the end of this year (assuming it&#8217;s not delayed.. again).<\/p>\n<p>But B4RN has already shown in <strong>Dolphinholme<\/strong> that they aren&#8217;t worried about such things and, thanks to strong community engagement, they&#8217;re often able to deliver good uptake.\u00a0The council\u00a0could in theory\u00a0choose to de-scope B4YS&#8217;s area and use the BDUK investment to expand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s coverage elsewhere, but LCC has tended to shun non-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> alternatives (even those that don&#8217;t require access to tax payer funding) and so some altnets like B4YS are doing the work anyway.<\/p>\n<p>By our count around <strong>3,000+ people<\/strong> live in the three villages (Silverdale is the biggest with 1,600), which probably translates to several hundred premises (sadly the B4YS site is somewhat sparse on detail). As with B4RN, once completed the unlimited 1000Mbps service will cost each subscriber \u00a330 per month, plus a one-off \u00a3150 connection fee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The community built and funded B4RN 4 Yealand, Silverdale &amp;
