This project aims to provide high-quality broadband to 100% of premises in North Yorkshire by 2017. It addresses the challenge of low broadband speeds in the area and aims to deliver superfast broadband to 50% of premises through commercial providers. The remaining 10% will be addressed through funding and technology options such as extending BT's fiber and wireless solutions.

SFNY Vision Access to high-quality broadband for 100% of North Yorkshire premises by 2017
The Challenge - 2010 Before SFNY, 17% of premises got less than 2Mbps Average speed across North Yorkshire of 4Mbps Superfast broadband, at least 25Mbps, about to be delivered to approximately 50% of North Yorkshire by BT/Virgin commercially
Premises in North Yorkshire and City of York Commercial BT 164057 Virgin 20968 Total Commercial 185025 49% BT Phase 1 Contract >25Mbps 149944 At least 2Mbps _44788 Total Intervention Area 19473251% Total Premises379757
BT Rollout – Phase 1 Key contract terms (Intervention Area) 77% access to min 25Mbps (= Superfast) Completion by October 2014 USC minimum 2Mbps £26.5m (BDUK £17.8m, ERDF £8.7m) Mostly FTTC Some FTTP (3%) Intervention + Commercial = c.90% (now estimated at 86%)
The basics - FTTC Fibre to the Cabinet
The basics - FTTP Fibre to the Premises
BT Rollout – Phase 1 Headlines Completed 695 cabinets 149944 premises >25+Mbps But coverage not uniform, By urban/rural By District By Constituency
Lessons learnt to date BT technology works, but has issues laws of physics apply (1.2km) coverage is spotty not spatial quality of pre-existing (voice) networks split communities/business parks
What is left to do? >25Mbps <25Mbps Total Intervention area 149944 44788 194732 Commercial area 177056* 7969* 185025 Totals 32700052757379757 86% 14% * ‘best guess’
How to address the remaining “10%”? 50,000+ premises (unevenly spread) Funding needed Technology options more fibre by BT wireless (extend existing/new) satellite
Phase 2 – extend BT contract £8m (BDUK £3m, ERDF £2m, NYCC £3m) Intervention Area 194732 premises Phase 1 149944 [=77/86%] Phase 2 FTTC 6000 FTTP 4500 160444 FTTrN? 160444[=82/90%] Rollout April 2015 to December 2016
Local picture Draughton Currently in Phase 2 plans as FTTC (EO) deployment. Will only know more on certainty once detailed planning completed and moves into delivery phase. Not currently expecting any issues.
Reflections on getting to 100% How much further can BT fibre reach? Technically Relative value for money (£177 £762 £1500?) Delivery Timescale • Will DCMS/BDUK retain 100% NGA objective? • USC 2Mbps commitment BDUK ‘released’ BT in Framework contracts • State Aid requirement (BDUK seeking renewal) • BDUK £ for NGA (>25Mbps) only • Willingness/ability of local authorities to £ for £ match • Non BT alternatives • State Aid/procurement/funding implications for local authorities
WISPs in North Yorkshire More then a dozen operators Vary from small (ADSL backhaul) to larger commercial (fibre backhaul) schemes Reasonable geographical coverage (approx 50% of space), but low market penetration Sub-Superfast (in State Aid terms) Backhaul quality and capacity National ISPs High Quality (>10Mbps) Local compromise? Problematic for BDUK?
WISP coverage Possible extension?
