Rural broadband: progress update

Status: Closed Opened: 7 Jan 2015 Closed: 26 Mar 2015

Inquiry scope

Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) is spending £790 million on its superfast (rural) broadband programme, which aims to improve superfast broadband provision to premises across the UK. The Committee published reports on the rural broadband programme in September 2013 and April 2014. These reports raised concerns over lack of published information on BT’s plans for superfast broadband coverage, the availability and transparency of cost data and the level of competition secured throughout the programme. This recall session will examine the transparency of cost and rollout information and explore whether the Department has done enough to promote greater competition for phases 2 and 3 of the programme.
