Contact

The Committee has launched the inquiry to examine the Government’s pledge to ensure every home and business in the UK has gigabit-capable broadband by 2025.

The Committee says that the inquiry will focus on how realistic the ambition is, what is needed to achieve it, and what the Government’s target will mean for businesses and consumers. It will also look at what role 5G technology might play, and what initiatives such as the Shared Rural Network mean for improving mobile connectivity across the UK.

The inquiry is currently accepting evidence and wants to hear views from anyone with answers to the questions in the call for evidence. Evidence can be submitted until 2 April 2020. To access the call for evidence, click here.
