Progress update John Moore Ian Marr Chief Executive Project Manager NYnet NYCC/NYnet
Areas we will cover Why are we doing this? BT rollout Demand stimulation Business support Communications How to address 10%? Lessons learnt to date Challenges to come What the next few months look like
Reminder of our Vision Access to high-quality broadband for 100% of North Yorkshire premises by 2017
Problem is .. Failed market Digital divide User frustration Overcome with .. Local expertise UK and EU funding, although State Aid brings risks
BT Rollout Key contract terms 90% access to min 25Mbps (Phase 1) 100% access to min 2Mbps Completion by end 2014 Mostly FTTC Some FTTP
BT Rollout Headlines 180+ of 690 cabinets completed 50,000+ of 149,000 total premises now able to access superfast speeds (25+Mbps)
Demand stimulation Team established Promoting cabinet upgrades and community schemes Not ISP specific Range of information available Website
Demand stimulation Targeted activity, eg Skipton Nationally, superfast broadband take-up is 16% after 2 years SFNY are already getting 8% after 200 days Our local target is to exceed 20%
Business Support (£3M) Targets 550 businesses to get 12hrs support new jobs created superfast broadband take-up by SMEs increase in GVA
Business Support (£3M) Intro is through breakfast session Leading to, eg, cloud computing, social media and digital marketing master classes. Plus 1:1 support and a £££ incentive. For more information: call: 0845 002 0021 email: enquiries@sfny.co.uk
Communications Website Cabinet level mapping Postcode searcher Enquiry email Community schemes Business support
How to address the 10% 40,000+ premises (unevenly spread) Options More fibre by BT (Phase 2, 90-95%?) Community wireless/satellite (Phase 3, 96-99%) Satellite = residual 1%
Community Broadband Continuing to support existing schemes (eg Kettlewell) First scheme competition close to release and will further inform 10% strategy Help deliver 96% to 99% coverage
Lessons learnt to date State aid/procurement is complex BT approach works, but has issues laws of physics quality of pre-existing (voice) networks split communities/business parks
Lessons learnt to date Very wide spectrum of public awareness and understanding Thirst for Business Support Demand stimulation boosts take-up
Challenges to come Ensuring BT (Phase 1) completed and on time Phase 2 and 3 areas Funding Technology options Outcome of first community scheme competition Meeting public expectations
Next few months BT will bring a further 500 cabinets on line and lift the total premises passed to 149,000 Secure and begin to spend Phase 2 funding First community competition Do the next one Continue to lobby for more funds
