The award recognises BT's £132m "Big Build" effort to deploy superfast broadband ISP services across at least 80% (ideally 90%) of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (here) by the end 2014.The judges reportedly said that BT's Superfast Cornwall project was "a good example of a private company partnering with the public sector" to create "Europe's most ambitious rural deployment of super-fast broadband".
Ranulf Scarbrough, BT's Superfast Cornwall Programme Director, said:
"Superfast Cornwall has captured the attention and imagination of the world. It demonstrates what can be achieved when the private and public sectors work together, sharing their resources and knowledge - and provides a blueprint for many other rural areas across the UK and elsewhere in the world."
