The UK's Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) amended the Building Regulations Act on 26 December 2022 to require home developers to support next-generation gigabit broadband when building new homes in England. announced that it would be mandatory.
The developer will bear the connection cost up to 2000 pounds (about 320,000 yen) per house, and will cooperate with the network operator to connect the property to the gigabit network. If internet lines cannot be installed within cost limits, operators must install the fastest connections available.
The reason why high-speed lines have not spread so far is that a person living in London commented , ``Because most of the cables in London are underground, it is expensive to bring in new cables.'' . It is estimated that more than 98% of new homes will fall within this cap under the new legislation, so it is hoped that high speed internet will be provided to the majority of people across England.
Also, on the same day as this revision of the law, a new 'Telecommunications Infrastructure (Land Lease) Act (TILPA)' has been enforced in England and Wales. This is a law that will make it easier for broadband operators to get access to install equipment in their buildings if their tenants request faster internet connections.
Until now, apartment dwellers in the UK had to wait for permission from their landlords to allow broadband operators into their buildings. However, the survey found that about 40% did not receive any response when broadband operators requested access rights to install connection equipment, and that landlords' silence meant that tenants could not get the service. It is said that there were many situations where it was not possible to receive.
With the enactment of TILPA, the court will grant the broadband operator the right to enter the building if the broadband operator requests access to the equipment installation and the landlord does not comply. It is estimated that this will make it easier to upgrade equipment and that about 2,100 homes will be connected to high-speed internet each year.
At the time of law enforcement, gigabit broadband was available in more than 72% of homes in the UK, and DCMS said, 'We aim to have full gigabit-capable broadband across the UK by 2030.'
