CBI responds to second reading of the digital infrastructure bill

Felicity Burch, CBI Director of Digital and Innovation, said:

“Quick internet connections support a whole host of things from flexible working to increasing business adoption of new technologies. As the telecoms bill has its second reading in Parliament, firms will welcome the rapid action government is taking to give leaseholders and tenants access to fast, reliable gigabit connectivity.

“Firms are ready to work with Government to make even more progress including on planning reform to support 5G rollout and addressing connectivity in new build developments.”
