The B4RN Project provides fiber internet access to rural communities through a not-for-profit community benefit society model. Local communities fund the infrastructure by purchasing shares and volunteering labor. B4RN designs and builds a fiber network for each parish that reaches every property with symmetrical 1Gbps speeds. The fiber backbone connects parishes through leased dark fiber and B4RN's own switching infrastructure, providing redundancy. So far B4RN has built networks for 75 parishes across 2000 square kilometers, connecting 3800 properties at a cost of around £700 per property.

The document summarizes several UK government broadband initiatives:
1. The Superfast Broadband program invested £1.7 billion to extend broadband coverage to 95% of UK premises by 2017, reaching over 4.5 million premises. Additional funding may cover up to 2% more.
2. The Better Broadband Scheme provides subsidies up to £350 for broadband access below 2Mbps, supporting over 10,000 premises since 2016.
3. The 5G Testbeds & Trials Programme aims to establish 5G deployment conditions and foster the UK 5G ecosystem, with initial funding for 3 university test networks.
4. Other programs include the Universal Service Obligation for 10Mbps broadband by 2020,
Central Superfast Presentation - Councils
The Central Superfast Broadband Project is a partnership between four local authorities aiming to deliver superfast broadband coverage to 100% of the area. They have secured over £17 million in funding to deliver projects bringing superfast speeds to over 57,000 premises. A new £3.48 million tender is being launched to address the remaining 12,000 premises without access. The tender process will begin in March 2017 seeking innovative solutions to maximize coverage of reliable, scalable, and upgradable networks meeting customer needs through partnership and ensuring value for money.

The document discusses strategies for connecting rural and remote areas to broadband networks, including pushing fiber infrastructure as far as possible, optimizing available fiber access, having a committed rollout plan, and creating a vehicle for coordinated interventions. It also presents an approach to lotting areas for the main intervention, starting with large urban areas and progressing to very remote rural areas.
DWS16 - Future networks forum - Ranulf Scarbrough, BT Superfast
Superfast Cornwall was a £132 million partnership that brought fibre broadband to 100% of the region, with 80% fibre coverage. This transformed the rural economy, connecting over 10,000 businesses and creating 4,000 new jobs. An evaluation found the programme increased GDP by £186 million already and was on track to boost it by over £250 million by mid-2016, all from just £53.5 million in EU funds. The success demonstrates that public-private partnerships are an essential model for deploying broadband in rural and less commercially viable areas.
Unlocking Value with Rural Broadband: A Policy Rethink
Rural broadband access is essential for rural economic growth but is often inadequate due to market failures. Current UK rural broadband initiatives are fragmented and complex, driving inefficiency. A new holistic policy framework is needed that sets clear objectives, recognizes regional differences, is demand-driven, considers a range of technologies, and removes uncertainty to better support rural broadband infrastructure rollout.

These objectives will be achieved through modernizing telecoms rules, providing free public WiFi access across Europe, and coordinating a 2020 timeline for 5G commercialization. Funding may come from the European Fund for Strategic Investments, European Structural and Investment Funds, and Connecting Europe Broadband Fund.
Jonathan Oxley - OFCOM
This document discusses promoting broadband infrastructure investment in the UK. It recognizes the importance of fixed and mobile connectivity. The regulator's job is to encourage competition to drive investment. The document discusses Ofcom's interventions like duct and pole access to encourage fiber deployment by multiple providers and lower costs. Illustrations show duct access could cut costs by 50% and reduce payback periods. Recent investments by providers in fiber are promising signs the regulator's actions are having the intended effects.
Ben Allwright - Flowmatik
PIA is part of Openreach's DPA program that allows communication providers (CPs) to use Openreach's physical infrastructure like ducts and poles to facilitate fiber network rollouts. Using PIA can reduce capital expenditures per premise by 25-60% while allowing for faster and less disruptive deployments with higher yields. PIA is estimated to provide around 70% availability across the UK. While PIA products and pricing are well advanced, some ambiguities remain such as draft caps proposed for enablement work of £4-6k per kilometer. CPs can select contractors to complete enablement work or work directly with Openreach. Openreach reference offers are due by end of 2017 with a complete PIA

DCMS presentation Rural Gigabit Future: Herefordshire & Gloucestershire 30/0...Independent Networks Co-operative Association
Gary Blunt's presentation from DCMS for the INCA Rural Gigabit Future seminar on April 30 2019 in Gloucester.Wansdyke
The rural areas of Shropshire and Herefordshire have connectivity problems due to their sparse populations and remote locations. Incumbent providers favor more profitable urban areas, leaving many rural communities with poor broadband and mobile coverage. The Herefordshire Community Networks CIC is addressing this issue by building fiber networks in hard to reach rural communities like Dewsall/Callow. Through a combination of community shares and public funding, they are able to install fiber networks at a lower cost than incumbent providers and achieve higher subscriber rates. Their model demonstrates that with local champions and alternative funding approaches, world-class connectivity can be achieved even in remote rural areas.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

- 5. Case Study Bromyard Brigsty Ward • All 3 of our major suppliers have actively delivered FTTP within the ward • Much of the ward can be typified as the ‘Outside’ • Closest towns are Bromyard (5 miles) and Tenbury Wells (12 miles) with the County Town of Hereford 25 miles away from the centre of the ward

How Rural LSOA Bromyard Downs E1014001 IMD Geographical Barriers to Services 223rd out of 32,844 IMD Access to Housing & Services 29th out of 32,844 LSOA Bredensapey E1014000 IMD Geographical Barriers to Services 73rd out of 32,844 IMD Access to Housing & Services 33rd out of 32,844 Rural Urban Classification ONS Rural Village & Disbursed Premise density 20.7 per Km2* *Excluding the edge of Bromyard
- 7. BT FTTP Gigaclear Airband FTTP On Demand BT FTTC >30Mbps BT FTTC >10Mbps STD Suppliers working and operating cheek by jowl – Need for collaboration with traffic management, to avoid overbuild and to increase deployment efficiency
- 8. How did we get here? • Being ambitious, taking calculated risks & often ignoring the received wisdom • Harnessing funding outside BDUK • Designing procurements that encourage competition and attract the right supplier for the geography at hand • Focusing the efforts of suppliers where the need is most acute • Working hard to understand the data • Avoiding overlap and ensuring the maximum benefit of the subsidy (sweating the contracts) • Placating the highways authority
- 9. The BDUK approach Hubs & Vouchers Focused on Rural Schools and Surgeries. Likely to have limited applications in areas that really are on ‘the outside’
Editor's Notes
- Fastershire is a Partnership between Herefordshire & Gloucestershire Councils which was established in 2011 and receives funding from BDUK (central government). Conduit for Public funding to overcome market failure to provide superfast broadband We are also focused on encouraging the adoption and exploitation of broadband. We therefore run a number of programmes to promote digital inclusion and provide help to businesses to make the most of their connectivity.
