[Sussex] Broadband for new homes

[Andrew Guard]

If the government did this, it would be very good news for me during my next
pay review.

The consultation came around following work by the Government's Broadband
Stakeholder Group (BSG) which suggested that Government should "...consult
with the building industry and broadband service providers to identify the
best approach to ensure cable ducting is installed in all new buildings". 

The concern is that some people might be put off because installing
broadband and other IT services might mean having to drill holes in wall and
lift floorboards to lay new cable. 

The alternative is to ensure that all new housing comes ready-fitted with
ducting and terminal boxes that are ready to take cabling without too much
effort. 

Of course, the Government has stressed that it will only include this into
formal building regulations "if the consultation provides solid evidence for
the benefits of such a change" and that it would lead to the increased
take-up of broadband.
