It’s been an exciting week at Connected Britain, where both Lutz Schu?ler, CEO of Virgin Media O2, and Rajiv Datta, CEO of nexfibre, took to the stage to discuss the future of the UK’s #connectivity landscape. Their keynotes focused on the importance of building sustainable networks that will drive digital innovation and inclusivity across the UK. Rajiv also announced nexfibre’s new partnership with leading charity UK Youth. In collaboration with VMO2, nexfibre will offer 1,000 youth centres across the UK access to their high-speed full #fibre network free of charge. This partnership will help provide young people with the connectivity they need to boost their life chances. #ConnectedBritain #DigitalInclusion

Yesterday at Day Two of #ConnectedBritain our General Counsel and CDO Giles Rowbotham spoke at the Regulation panel. We’ve seen significant progress in the full fibre regulatory landscape in the last few years, but this progress is fragile. There is still work to do to ensure the whole of the UK can have the connectivity it needs for a healthy and growing economy, and investment is crucial to completing this and future build cycles.? ? As Giles said: Regulatory stability is key for continued investment. We urge and look forward to working with government and regulators to continue to provide the right conditions for sustainable competition and ongoing investment.

It was fantastic to be at Connected Britain yesterday; from Rajiv Datta debating the future of the UK fibre market with Katie Milligan and Greg Mesch, to announcing our partnership with UK Youth alongside Ndidi Okezie and Warren Nettleford and previewing the ITN Business programme 'Connecting the Nation'. Looking forward to seeing Giles Rowbotham?discuss the regulatory landscape this afternoon in what is a critical period for our industry. The range of the panels we are participating in showcases the role we’re playing in the UK fibre market: to build a national-scale platform that brings sustainable competition and innovation to the market, enabling all businesses and communities to partake in the digital economy and thrive. ? #ConnectedBritain Fibrenews Total Telecom
