The Government has received substantial criticism in a report for efforts in bringing superfast broadband to the UK.

The report, published by The House of Lords Select Committee on Communications, details the obstacles facing the implementation of a high speed broadband network by 2015.

The report included a written response from the government industry forum group, Broadband Stakeholder Group (BSG), which attacked the decision to allow regional authorities to dictate deployments, saying “these projects are of too small a scale for the sector, resulting in too many procurements and insufficient network sizes to be sustainable.”
