The UK's telecoms industry has outlined inan open letter to the new prime minister, four main challenges his government must address if he wants to achieve the "full-fibre broadband for all" by 2025. The main issues to be tackled as captured by anews reportare;

  • Planned reforms to ensure that landlords grant access if a tenant requests fibre or other connections to be installed at his home.
  • Removal of the so-called fibre tax which applies business rates to fibre infrastructure thereby discouraging investment.
