BSG CEO Antony Walker recently spoke at a UK-Japan Symposium on ‘Superfast Broadband’.

Addressing the topic ‘Should next generation access be ubiquitous across the UK and how far is the market likely to deliver?’ the presentation concluded that it was too soon to tell how far the market will deliver.

With regard to ubiquity, more information is required about the economic and social value of NGA before an informed debate about the need for ubiquitous NGA can be held. The BSG is working on a framework for estimating the economic and social value of NGA in order to further understanding on this issue.

The event was attended by a variety of industry and public sector representatives, as well as a Japanese ministerial delegation.
