Rural broadband programme running late


The National Audit Office has published a report finding that the programme to deliver superfast broadband to 90% of communities in the UK is running two years late. The Department of Culture Media and Sport, which has responsibility, has said that the programme is likely to complete in 2017, 22 months late. 

The report also said only nine of 44 rural areas would reach targets for high-speed internet by 2015, and four areas could also miss a revised 2017 target.
