Next generation broadband access

Print
The UK has comparatively high coverage and take-up of broadband access, but several other countries have begun to deploy 'next generation' infrastructure to support faster access. This POSTnote examines next generation access (NGA) technologies, demand for them and deployments worldwide. It looks at the debate over who should invest in NGA and when, and considers policy issues such as international competitiveness and geographical variations.
