answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2015 answer text <p>Based on DCMS insight and research the Government concluded that an advertising campaign would promote a greater take up of superfast broadband. For the areas to be covered by the Government's phase 1 Superfast Broadband Programme, we estimate that up to a further £120m will be generated for investment in further coverage for every 10 percentage point increase on the programme's 20% take-up baseline. <ins class="ministerial">The quicker people take up services in the areas delivered with public funding, the quicker funding is returned for reinvestment by the supplier; we therefore launched an £8 million national marketing campaign to raise awareness.</ins></p><p>The budget for the campaign was based on evidence of previous government campaigns to reach the optimum amount of our target audience. The campaign was coordinated with suppliers and both BT and Virgin Media have linked their advertising to it.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 07/01/2015 15:39:10 question first ministerially corrected 15/01/2015 14:11:39 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot previous answer version 37345 answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
