The Broadband Project
The Aims and Objectives
“To improve the Broadband speed and access to everybody in North Dorset
68,000 people
23,000 households
2900 businesses “
The credibility factor
If this project was to be taken seriously we initially needed two things:
A Survey to show “Proof of Need”A Report, Review or Business Plan
This was to become Phase One of the project.
The Broadband Project
Key Steps
We got the evidence
We got initial funding
We got a report from an industry expert
We got as many supporters as possible
We got real
(but stayed ambitious!)

1123 Responses920 On-line 203 Hard copyOut of the above total returns 861 were considered useable 663 had a near complete data set. 99% connected to the internet by conventional land line.“Probably one of the best rural broadband surveys in the world”
THE SURVEY
Respondents reported speeds THE SURVEY
Reported speeds
<0.5 Mbps, 157, 18%
B'band not available, 10, 1%
Respondent uncertain, 156, 18%
over 8 Mbps, 24, 3%
2 to 8 Mbps, 278, 33%
0.5 to 2 Mbps, 234, 27%
Respondents reporting of current broadband speeds can be unreliable and this factor is addressed in Adrian’s report
Mapping THE SURVEY
Respondents reported speeds are plotted against a background of the speeds projected by BT based on line capability

competition for competition for the futurethe future
Up to 31% of postcodes average less than the 2Mbps USC
Only Salisbury, Warminster and Wimborne have sufficient competition for them to deregulated
But this may be an opportunity
Mobile coverage is not currently an alternative, and would require greater backhaul to improve
With up to 1,000 Mbps available in Bournemouth this poses a risk to the local economy

Shared risk & reward
* Taken from Geo’s experience with Welsh Assembly Government
Public sector typically has lower appetite for risk but can take a long view on investmentsCommercial network builders often have a higher appetite for risk but tend to need a faster return
The options
A practical compromise•In some locations the cost and community ambition make fibre an option•In other areas, a fibre to the cabinet solution will be more practical•And a wireless solution can provide a catch-all
So. . .
• The area experiences below average broadband speeds and below average competition for services
• No-one is going to fix this alone• Ensuring you are ready for the future will
require Big Society investment as well as Big Company
So. . .
• BDUK funding is a catalyst – the local broadband strategy is far more important
• Investors expect a return and broadband should be no different
• Smart Community, Public and Business investment will need to be married together if you are to remain a vibrant and sustainable community
