Better understanding the needs of Local Authorities (LA) will be key for altnets looking to build mutually productive partnerships. At their most effective, these public/private relationships accelerate the provision of fibre, whilst supporting the councils’ ambitions of economic growth and social inclusion.

Complete Technology Group has been selected by VIVID to manage the strategic roll-out of full-fibre infrastructure across its high-rise blocks of flats.
VIVID has 34,000 homes in Hampshire and the surrounding area, with approximately 16,000 of those being MDUs.
CTG will work with its sister company, Complete Fibre, and VIVID to optimise full-fibre network solutions for each MDU in the housing provider’s portfolio.
The company will manage all communications with ISPs, provide advisory and planning services to VIVID, and then audit all work undertaken.
VIVID will install Complete Fibre, a single, open-access ‘plug-and-play’ digital infrastructure within suitable MDUs, which multiple ISPs can connect into.
Chris McLain, CEO at Complete Technology Group, said: “We’ll do the heavy-lifting with all stakeholders, ensuring hyper-fast, hyper-reliable broadband is delivered to all residents, without compromising on safety or standards.”
Matt Bellamy, Head of Asset Strategy and Delivery at VIVID, added: “Making our homes digital ready for fibre deployment, we can ensure that our customers have access to modern digital services when they are available.
“This will not only contribute to digital inclusion but allow this to take place at a faster rate than would have otherwise been possible.”
