<p>My Department brokered an agreement in February 2016 between the Home Builders
Federation (HBF) and Openreach to connect new build developments to superfast broadband,
and where possible, ultrafast broadband. Both Virgin Media and the utility provider
GTC have made similar agreements with the HBF. Whilst these voluntary agreements between
industry stakeholders have been successful and are welcomed, we are monitoring their
effectiveness closely. DCMS’ Barrier Busting Task Force are prepared to explore further
measures, including legislative options, if necessary in order to ensure residents
get the connectivity they deserve.</p><p><strong><br> </strong></p><p> </p>
