UK without Gigabit broadband is like David taking on three Goliaths without a sling
2017-06-23 02:00:00| Total Telecom industry news
On the first anniversary of the Brexit referendum, and with divorce proceedings between the U.K. and the European Union getting underway this week, Total Telecom thought now would be a good time to consider whether the U.K. has the broadband infrastructure it needs to take on the best in the world. If you're pressed for time, here's the situation as it stands today: no, it does not. It is also important to consider whether the U.K. has the right plan to address its shortcomings, so that when Brexit comes, it will be better-placed to compete globally on its own. The answer to that depends on who you ask, but the general tone from last week's Connected Britain was that copper upgrades are good enough for now, but widespread Gigabit access, either by fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) or Gigabit coax, is the ultimate goal.

Italian govt to summon TIM over fibre broadband plans
2017-06-20 08:55:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Italy's ministry for economic development (MiSE) has announced that it intends to summon executives from Telecom Italia (TIM) to discuss the group's fibre-optic broadband plans in underserved and rural areas. In a statement, industry minister Carlo Calenda said the government had no wish to prevent or hinder TIM's investment but that it needed to respect legal commitments and the relevant European Community legislation for broadband expansion in non-economic viable areas. If TIM's investment lacks that legal basis "the government will act to protect the public interest, as it's obliged to do," said Calenda.
