About this event

Speaker:

Peter Speroni, Programme Manager, Dorset County Council

Synopsis:

Fast, reliable broadband internet access is essential for homes throughout the country to benefit from online services, and for UK businesses to compete globally. 

Some areas of the UK have access to faster broadband speeds than others, with many rural areas receiving far lower speeds than cities and urban areas.

The Superfast Dorset programme will address the areas of "market failure"; that is where there is no commercial business case to provide access. 

The talk will address the technical, commercial and regulatory aspects of the programme that will provide access to faster broadband speeds for the 87,000 premises in Dorset not being served by the market.
