One of the leading internet providers in the UK, Ofcom has entered into the debate related to super-fast broadband connectivity. They crossed the threshold to the dispute by launching a consultation paper on the area under discussion.

The consultation period is till December and it will investigate on the different methods to maintain UK broadband services to speed up with the services of other nations. The industry is planning on the idea of installing a nationwide fibre cable network, called Next Generation Access, which will increase download speed and this is to muddle through with the increasing bandwidth requirements.

Ed Richards who is the chief executive of Ofcom stated that the Next Generation Access will surely put forward remarkable opportunities for the UK business and consumers and its impending impact on the economy will be very important. He mentioned that Ofcom wants to make sure that there will be no barriers to investment and will provide a clear environment which will help to persuade on investment.
