<p>The Government has made clear its ambition for nationwide gigabit broadband as
quickly as possible.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Telecommunications Infrastructure
(Leasehold Property) Bill, which has already entered the House, will support the delivery
of gigabit access to multi-dwelling buildings, by providing a faster, cheaper route
through the courts for operators faced with a landlord who is repeatedly unresponsive
to their access request notices and a resident is seeking a service.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>The provisions in the Bill will provide telecoms operators with access
to the common areas of the building (the stairwells, corridors and basements) for
the purpose of installing digital infrastructure.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>This
process is available to operators to use for access to all multi-dwelling buildings,
including where an existing broadband service is currently available, and where the
landlord has repeatedly failed to respond to requests for access.</p><p> </p>
