We believe that, in this period of uncertainty on the demand, usage and reach of next generation access networks, it is best for the public sector to adopt a partnership approach with the private sector to delivering super-fast broadband services. Specifically, it should seek to:

• facilitating market-led investment at community level; and
• co-ordinate its activity across the UK.
