In Scotland the gigabit programme will essentially be used to focus on the bits that R misses, at least that is what the Scottish Government seem to be saying.
Mark, that makes no sense whatsoever.. As for a Gigabit programme with Mbps and 50 Mbps expectations? Is there any evidence that the existing LFFN projects have delivered much in the way of new build beyond the funded coverage to public sector buildings most of which overbuilds existing infrastructure anyway?
Does the cost per premise of any additional coverage compare well to the more traditional BDUK approach? That seems like an expensive procurement process, with a lot of wasted admin costs to oversee it, compare the responses etc. Hopefully the process will allow for bidders to group bundles together to give economies of scale, otherwise it could drive up the cost per premise unnecessarily.
Have they thought about the development of a network-neutral wholesale platform? Without that it may prove difficult to persuade retail ISPs to connect to these disparate networks given the interconnect costs and complexities. Since the LFFN seems to be primarily focused upon public sector buildings, then assessing beyond that would be to examine an aspiration rather than a solid target of the delivery contracts.
Nevertheless, we do see various operators like Cityfibre, VXFIBRE and others making use of the Dark Fibre that gets built and ramping-up via commercial investment on top of those to reach homes and businesses. In doing so this also aids competition at the infrastructure level. I look at the rural Moray and Aberdeenshire areas on the TBB maps and the scale of the problem is plain to see.
Post Covid we need jobs, jobs, and more jobs. The peace-meal nature of LFFN, vouchers and creating lots of 3, premises misses entirely the challenges the economy now faces. It is one of the few companies that could make an immediate contribution if it chooses too. TL;DR give it a rest. The problem with real long apprenticeships is that there is no tie in or pay back for the employer.
However, the logic loop is broken — as this stops the union having more highly skilled members. In a lot of things in the UK the skills gap is the rate limiting factor. Contrast that with Germany. There are tie ins with a bit out. They gave a nice skilled manual workforce.
We shut down our training centre as all we were doing was supplying well trained staff to everyone else who would pay silly money to get the staff in to fill a short term need. Unfortunately, in construction and civils, there is little realisation as to the difference between a full time salaried job and self employed.
