Conclusion
We took evidence from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (the Department) on its progress to date in achieving its target of reaching a minimum of 85% nationwide coverage of gigabit-capable broadband by 2025.
Government Response Summary
The Department is responsible for delivering the government’s policies on increasing economic growth and productivity through improved digital connectivity, aiming for at least 85% of UK premises having access to gigabit-broadband by 2025 and plans to accelerate rollout to get as close to 100% nationwide coverage as is possible in that time. The Department expects that commercial operators will supply broadband infrastructure where profitable and is working with these operators to provide subsidies to build gigabit infrastructure in less commercially viable areas.
