Models for efficient and effective public sector interventions in next-generation broadband access networks
The Broadband Stakeholder Group (BSG) – the government’s advisory group on broadband has published a report identifying potential models for efficient and effective public sector intervention in the deployment and take-up of next generation broadband in the UK. It makes several recommendations for public sector bodies that might be considering such projects.

A Framework for Evaluating the Value of Next Generation Broadband, 2008
The UK could reap significant social and economic value from the wide-spread deployment of next generation broadband, according to a new report that studies how to weigh up the costs and benefits, from the Broadband Stakeholder Group (BSG), the government’s leading advisory group on broadband and digital convergence.
By looking at the potential private value (value accruing to commercial investors and consumers) and the wider economic and social value, the BSG has found that the long-term benefits to the UK associated with the wide-scale deployment could outweigh the cost of deployment, which could be as much as £16bn (to reach 80 per cent of UK homes).
