Broadband: Rural Areas
- Question
-
What steps he is taking to ensure that BT Openreach delivers improved broadband to rural areas.
- Answer
-
My department works with a number of network operators to deliver improved broadband to rural areas. This includes Openreach and their work in West Dorset.
We are also working closely with Openreach and other operators to prepare our £5 billion “Outside In” programme, as announced in the Spring Budget.
This programme will focus on delivering gigabit-capable broadband to the hardest to reach premises in the UK, which are mainly in rural areas.
