Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:25 pm on 11 October 2016.
Diolch, Lywydd. I will be brief. Minister, you’ve identified broadband in the industrial areas by Airband contract. Can you confirm that there are no more industrial areas that will be requiring additional contracts, which is critical? Can you also tell us what market will be in those industrial areas once they have been connected up, so that we can get the message out to people as soon as possible?
You’ve also talked about re-capacitating today. As you know, I’ve got a problem with one of the boxes. Will you ensure that BT provides sufficient capacity in their cabinets so that there is no need to re-capacitate within that short space of time? Actually, they should be looking at a target of at least 50 per cent capacity for the houses in that box to ensure that it can deliver to the communities, and not put people on hold and they’ll come back in years to come when they’ve got time, not when people need it.
