Welcome Broadband Delivery UK
05 March 2010
The Digital Britain Final Report called it the Network Design and Procurement Group and we've waited a while for it to be set up. But this week it arrived with a more media-friendly name.
Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) will drive forward the Universal Service Commitment to deliver 2Mbps to every household by 2012 and - if the proposal for a landline duty wins Parliamentary approval before the General Election - it will manage the spend of the £1billion Next Generation Fund to deliver next generation broadband to 90% of the country by 2017.
