<p>The Government set out its long term national strategy for full fibre connectivity
in the Future telecoms Infrastructure review, following a public Call for Evidence,
extensive engagement with stakeholders and experts, and evidence from a range of other
sources, including external analysis.</p><p> </p><p>The Review committed to an ‘Outside
In’ approach to deployment, to support areas which are likely to require additional
funding - we expect these to be mostly in rural and remote areas. We are trialling
different delivery models in these areas through BDUK’s Superfast Programme and the
recently launched Rural Gigabit Connectivity programme and will continue our engagement
with Local Authorities throughout the duration of these Programmes.</p>
