2. Market opportunity
A quarter of the UK is currently without access to superfast broadband
• Internet usage and demand for faster broadband increasing at around 40% per
annum compound
• BT and Virgin Media’s commercial roll-out plans exclude millions of homes in the
UK
• Ongoing pressure to find more and better solutions to slow and unreliable rural
broadband
• Competing solutions for rural areas, including BT’s fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC)
networks, are considered inferior to FTTP even when available
