NYnet and NYCC (together the ‘Authorities’) have secured funding of GBP 12.5 m to roll out Phase 4 of the Superfast North Yorkshire programme. Additional funding may be available throughout the term of the contract. The project aims to deliver against a vision to secure as close to 100 % coverage as possible of next generation access (‘NGA’) broadband in North Yorkshire (‘the County’).

The project recognises that the broad geography of North Yorkshire and its sparsity of population means NGA infrastructure of 30 Mbps and above may be limited in scope. However, with the application of public sector funds to stimulate the market, suppliers’ are invited to propose the most extensive coverage possible delivering 30 Mbps and above using whatever range of NGA compliant technologies they consider most appropriate.
