<p>The Government's Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review, published in July 2018,
set out that greater transparency of build plans, particularly those of Openreach,
might have a positive impact on the commercial rollout of full-fibre broadband networks.
It also committed the government, as first step, to discussing with BT and Ofcom how
such transparency measures might be introduced.</p><p> </p><p>Since the FTIR was published,
Government has held discussions with Openreach about the transparency of its build
plans. On 28th January Openreach voluntarily published a list of towns and cities
where it is building or intends to start deploying full fibre in the next 12 months.
It also published information for the 14 locations that it had already announced,
including a list of specific exchanges where it has already built, where it is currently
building and where it intends to start building in the next 3 months. Openreach plans
to update this information on a quarterly basis, including for the 11 new towns and
cities once this information is available. Further details can be found on the Fibre
First pages of Openreach’s website: https://www.homeandbusiness.openreach.co.uk/fibre-first</p><p>
