SFNY Vision

Access to high-quality broadbandfor

100% of North Yorkshire premisesby

2017

The Challenge - 2010Before 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 YorkCommercialBT 164057Virgin 20968Total Commercial 185025 49%

BT Phase 1 Contract>25Mbps 149944At least 2Mbps _44788Total Intervention Area 194732 51%

Total Premises 379757

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• 149944 premises >25+Mbps

• But coverage not uniform,By urban/ruralBy DistrictBy 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?

* ‘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 194732 premises

• Phase 1 149944 [=77/86%]• Phase 2• FTTC 6000• FTTP 4500

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?
