UK ‘gigabit’ broadband rollout under fire from MPs
Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s promise to deliver nationwide “turbocharged” broadband by 2025 will be missed because of a catalogue of government failures, parliament’s spending watchdog has concluded. The public accounts committee criticised the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) for failing to make any “meaningful progress” in delivering policies or legal changes to achieve a rapid rollout of gigabit broadband. As a result, thousands of homes and businesses, particularly in rural areas, could be left with slow broadband for many years, MPs warned.
