6.1 Super-fast broadband (SFBB) is emerging as a priority infrastructure within Leicestershire. The deployment of super-fast broadband (SFBB) will: • provide the foundations from which the UK economy will grow and recover from �the recession – to improve prosperity in the wider economy • ensure the UK is competitive in global markets • improve consumer power and choice, overcoming rural isolation • help transform the way public services are delivered • increase access to services • reduce the need to travel and tackle climate change National and Local Funding 6.2 British Telecom (BT) is investing £2.5bn to roll-out SFBB across the UK. It is anticipated that through this investment two thirds of the UK population will have access to SFBB by the end of 2014. A map showing the location of BT investment in Leicestershire is included at appendix A. BT considers that all other areas, referred to as the final third, are not commercially viable and will require public sector funding. 6.3 The Government aims to ensure that all of the UK has access to the best broadband connectivity in Europe by 2015. Leicestershire County Council has a vision to deliver SFBB (c24Mbit/s) to all premises in Leicestershire by 2017 with at least 90% being delivered by 2015. £6m has been allocated by Leicestershire County Council to match the Government’s £3.14m allocation. A further £300,000 has been allocated by the County Council to provide better broadband services in the most remote areas. All Leicestershire district council’s are being invited to invest to ensure that the deployment can extend to as many businesses and residential premises as possible. Furthermore, the County Council is leading efforts to encourage Government to increase its allocation and is working with other East Midlands authorities to secure European Regional Development Funding (ERDF). Broadband Roll-Out Proposals 6.4 Following the Government’s approval of Leicestershire’s broadband strategy, the County Council will lead the procurement of a supplier using the Government’s national procurement Framework; this includes BT and Fujitsu. Procurement will commence in December 2012 and be complete by summer 2013. Deployment will commence following this until 2015. At this stage it is not possible to determine the specific technology which the contracted supplier will use to improve broadband connectivity. It is, however, expected that the majority of improvements will be through fixed-line connections rather than through mobile (4G) and satellite broadband. These innovative solutions could be especially important in remote rural areas. It is not possible to identify the full costs of deploying SFBB to the final third with Leicestershire until later in the procurement process. Indicative research has estimated this at a minimum of £20m. For Blaby District the total cost is Page 178
estimated as £2.8m. It is estimated that public investment in SFBB within areas that will not receive commercial support could result in a Gross Value Added uplift of £36.4m (for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland). Key Issues 6.5 There is significant evidence within the District that poor connectivity issues have affected both businesses and communities It is estimated that 8600 premises within Blaby District will not have access to SFBB without public sector investment. This equates to 21% of all premises within the district. Across all Leicestershire premises this figure is estimated at 30%. There are areas within Blaby District with very poor broadband connectivity. It is estimated that 1,235 premises are classified a Slow-Spots with current broadband speeds of between 0.5Mbit/s and 2Mbit/s. 248 premises are classified as Not-Spots with speeds of less than 0.5Mbit/s. Current estimated broadband speeds have been mapped and are available at www.leics.gov.uk/broadband. 7.
