Details

Local broadband projects that are part of the rural broadband programme will be subsidised to varying extents by funding from DCMS, as well as other UK and potentially EU public sources.

In almost all cases the funding for these local broadband projects will give rise to State aid.

These documents provide guidance to local bodies and other stakeholders on the general and specific wholesale network access requirements that will apply to suppliers in direct and indirect receipt of State aid.
