The Executive has now completed its consultation events with both the industry and the public.

A consultation was held on 8 May with potential broadband suppliers from across the UK. Two further consultation meetings took place on 18 May and 7 June with invited representatives from the larger clusters affected by the broadband reach issue, which are known to the Executive. Further information on event participants can be found at:

We are currently examining the consultation feedback. This will inform our policy approach to addressing the broadband reach issue.

We will announce our way forward in the coming months.
