SFNY Vision Access to high-quality broadband for 100% of North Yorkshire premises by 2017

The Challenge Before SFNY, 17% of premises got less than 2Mbps Average speed across North Yorkshire of 4Mbps Superfast broadband, at least 25Mbps, about to be delivered to approximately 50% of North Yorkshire by BT/Virgin commercially

Premises in North Yorkshire and City of York Commercial BT Virgin Total Commercial % BT Phase 1 Contract >25Mbps At least 2Mbps_44788 Total Intervention Area % Total Premises379757

BT Rollout – Phase 1 Key contract terms (Intervention Area) 77% access to min 25Mbps (= Superfast) Completion by October 2014 USC minimum 2Mbps £26.5m (BDUK £17.8m, ERDF £8.7m) Mostly FTTC Some FTTP (3%) Intervention + Commercial = c.90% (now estimated at 86%)

BT Rollout – Phase 1 Headlines Completed 695 cabinets premises >25+Mbps But coverage not uniform,  By urban/rural  By District  By Constituency

North Yorkshire

Phase 1 and Commercial Craven

Lessons learnt to date BT technology works, but has issues laws of physics apply (1.2km) coverage is spotty not spatial quality of pre-existing (voice) networks split communities/business parks

What is left to do? >25Mbps <25MbpsTotal Intervention area Commercial area * 7969* Totals % 14% * ‘best guess’

How to address the remaining “10%”? 50,000+ premises (unevenly spread) Funding needed Technology options more fibre by BT wireless (extend existing/new) satellite

Phase 2 – extend BT contract £8m (BDUK £3m, ERDF £2m, NYCC £3m) Intervention Area premises Phase [=77/86%] Phase 2 FTTC 6000 FTTP FTTrN ? [=82/90%] Rollout April 2015 to December 2016

North Yorkshire

Local picture Draughton Currently in Phase 2 plans as FTTC (EO) deployment. Will only know more on certainty once detailed planning completed and moves into delivery phase. Not currently expecting any issues.

Reflections on getting to 100% How much further can BT fibre reach? Technically Relative value for money (£177  £762  £1500?) Delivery Timescale Non BT alternatives State Aid/procurement/funding implications for local authorities Will DCMS/BDUK retain 100% NGA objective? USC 2Mbps commitment  BDUK ‘released’ BT in Framework contracts State Aid requirement (BDUK seeking renewal) BDUK £ for NGA (>25Mbps) only Willingness/ability of local authorities to £ for £ match

WISPs in North Yorkshire More then a dozen operators Vary from small (ADSL backhaul) to larger commercial (fibre backhaul) schemes Reasonable geographical coverage (approx 50% of space), but low market penetration Sub-Superfast (in State Aid terms) Backhaul quality and capacity National ISPs High Quality (>10Mbps) Local compromise? Problematic for BDUK?
