'New government measures to fast track the rollout of super-fast broadband in the UK, have been welcomed by BT.
The plans to cut 'red-tape' include the installation of broadband street cabinets and other infrastructure without the need for prior approval from the local council - except in sites of special scientific interest.
Tim O'Sullivan (BT Director of public affairs) comments, " BT is already rolling out fibre broadband at record pace, but there are a variety of issues that can sometimes slow us down and cause frustration for those consumers and businesses who are keen to get fibre broadband. We are pleased that the government acknowledges those barriers and also that it shares out ambition that as many people as possible can benefit from the high-speed fibre revolution".
