Innovation in Infrastructure Access to Extend Coverage
"For rural areas – if they are connected at all – the average is 3 megabits per second.
Will you put up with that? The people of Rutland didn’t!
The result is that Britain’s smallest county has the bestbroadband.
I find this story so inspiring”.

OTHER PROJECTS IN THE PIPELINE:
Rutland expansionStamford + areaNorth WalesWest Yorkshire
Track Record – copper line Lyddington
Fibre to the Cabinet - LyddingtonReplacing almost 3km of copper from exchange to cabinet with fibre ( BT BES )
• ...but delivering fibre in rural areas can be (very) expensive
Recent example: £165k construction charges to village 3km with only 104 population
..need to explore alternatives:
own dig (possible and always worth considering)
use existing infrastructure….BT’s O.R.Ducts and Poles
DUCTS & POLES
Reduce Cost
Enable control
Enable both FTTC & FTTH
DUCTS & POLES
• BROADBAND VIA POLES ALREADY TRIALLED PRIVATELY BY VIRGIN • WORKSHOPS ALREADY IN PLACE WITH BT OPENREACH
• ISSUES COMMERCIALLY, REGULATORY & OPERATIONALLY
…BUT MOVING AHEAD….REFERENCE OFFERS FROM OPENREACH
• DUCTS JAN 2011• POLES MAY 2011
• THIS WILL ENABLE NOT ONLY LOCAL FIBRE DELIVERY TO THE CABINET BUT, IN AREAS OF LOW POPULATION OR WHERE NO PCP EXISTS (EXCHANGE ONLY LINES)
F.T.T.N ?
FIBRE TO THE NODE
LOW DENSITY DSLAM (24)
SUITABLE FOR E.O.L.
…BUT WOULD ONLY WORK WITH AFFORDABLE FIBRE
