Broadband Subgroup

The ISPA Broadband subgroup is concerned with regulatory areas relating to the provision of broadband services in the UK, including the rollout of network infrastructure and treatment of both consumer and business customers.

Current issues on the working group’s agenda include tackling barriers to broadband rollout (eg wayleaves, streetworks & New Builds), the Government’s outside-in agenda, the implementation of the European Electronic Communications Code and other customer protection matters.
