Hand Up for BroadbandDELIVERING 100% SUPERFAST BROADBAND

Two Observations First, the wider socioeconomic and societal benefits of 100% Superfast Broadband are much greater than the consumer’s preparedness to pay

Second, a fit-for-21st Century-purpose network deserves a 21st Century solution

Conclusion: a new model for partnership between Local Authorities and the private sector is needed…

…and the SEP provides a catalyst for this to happen.
