CityFibre is one of the UK's leading fibre optic infrastructure providers. It has invested £500 million to build fibre networks in 50 UK cities and towns, connecting over 30,000 km of fibre. CityFibre networks support public services, businesses, and residents with high-speed broadband access. State aid could help CityFibre extend fibre coverage to more areas by co-funding infrastructure in carefully defined intervention zones, while balancing additional public funding with CityFibre's private investment approach across its networks.

6. CityFibre is state aid friendly
Requirement State Aid CityFibre’s approach in intervention areas
Compliance
Open Access ✔ Structurally separated independent network.
Open dark fibre. Open access wholesale services.
Benchmarked
Wholesale Pricing
✔ Dark fibre NGA has no comparable benchmarks in UK.
Access will be benchmarked to EU examples.
Active wholesale benchmarked to UK market.
Infrastructure Re-use ✔ We would consider using ducts provided by the City.
BT PIA is too restrictive, so unlikely to be usable.
Co-ordination with cities to limit environmental impacts.
Clawback ✔ Compatible if pegged to level of state aid. A mechanism
to re-invest ‘over compensation’ in network growth is
preferred.
Technology Neutral ✔ Not applicable to CityFibre, however, in an urban
environment passive fibre will underpin wireless
technologies

8. Balancing state aid with CityFibre‟s £500m
investment programme
Our stated aims for our Well Planned Cities:
• Rollout to 1.0 million homes, 100,000 businesses
• 15 cities, with a private investment of circa £35m per city
• More towns and cities to follow…
Considerations for State Aid:
• State aid is compatible with CityFIbre’s private investment approach
• Intervention areas must be carefully defined
• Match funding opportunities
• CityFibre is supportive of the new EU guidelines
