Comprehensive Insight into a High Potential Market:
According to the FTTH Council (2014), based on evidence from the US, providing full fibre to half of all premises in the UK could result in a 1.1% rise in annual GDP. A report by Regeneris Consulting for CityFibre (2018) estimates that if this growth rate is applied to 100 city and town economies they have explored in the report, a total economic impact of up to up to £120 billion for 100 towns and cities over 15 years could be reached.
Niche Knowledge:
The Experts allowed the client to understand key aspects of the industry such as the risks of retail fibre sales, how to retain customers and how to grow the customer base once a fibre network is built.
