Hong Kong -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/29/2010 -- Marketsensus just released a report about the UK’s current broadband policy, which will guide the sector’s development through to 2015 at least. It is to a large measure based on Lord Carter’s Digital Britain report, released in June 2009 and since legislated for in the April 2010 Digital Economy Act. This proposed a number of recommendations to provide an improved broadband network for the country. One of the key tenets was the provision of at least 2Mb/s nationally by 2015 (put back from 2012 as a result of funding issues). The remaining 10% of premises which cannot be effectively served by fixed-line broadband are to be provisioned with mobile broadband. To this end, the regulator Ofcom is currently preparing for the late-2011 joint auction of 800MHz and 2.6GHz spectrum which will be utilized by operators for LTE services. In addition, refarmed 900MHz spectrum will also be allowed for mobile broadband.
