Rapid roll-out of superfast broadband across the country.

We will introduce measures to ensure the rapid roll-out of superfast broadband across the country.


We will ensure that BT and other infrastructure providers allow the use of their assets to deliver such broadband, and we will seek to introduce superfast broadband in remote areas at the same time as in more populated areas. If necessary, we will consider using the part of the TV licence fee that is supporting the digital switchover to fund broadband in areas that the market alone will not reach.
