A new study conducted by economic consultancy Regeneris, which was commissioned by Cityfibre, has predicted that the total economic impact of deploying “full fibre” (FTTP/H) ultrafast broadband ISP networks, across 100 distinct UK city and towns, could reach £120bn over a 15 year period.

The study examined 10 areas of the United Kingdom’s economy that were deemed “likely to benefit from full fibre roll-outs” and it also sought to quantify the impact of each of these areas in 100 distinct UK town and city economies. The results are split by businesses, households, environmental impact and so forth. The research does not consider the outcome of a nationwide rollout but this would obviously be even bigger.
