But more also needs to be done to support the increasing number of people based in rural areas who work from home, or where rural properties could be set up as employment hubs but would need good IT links

With continued developments in, or problems with, telecoms RCC should formally review that policy each year to confirm, or otherwise, whether it is the right way forward.

With the increasing number of people working from home in rural areas FTTP should also be mandatory in residential developments. Employment 'hubs' with FTTP should also be considered in this, or a separate policy.

Is there any reason that only proposals of over 100 sq mtrs are covered by this policy. Smaller offices benefit from faster Internet connections also.

Workplaces references - What about new housing ? Digital connectivity is key to accessing modern health care and well being services. Given the rurality of settlements, digital connectivity is key.The information in the Why is the policy needed is relevant and could be reflected in the actual policy itself? It would be helpful to have a clearer reference in the policy itself, in how this also translates / contributes to the improvement in nearby or local residential dwellings? Commercial developments are perhaps unlikely to be developed in more Rural settings therefore how will rural infrastructure support digital inclusion in future.

All new dwellings must either provide FFTP or where this is demonstrated not to be viable, industry standard ducting as close as possible to the existing telecom distribution points.
This is a “must” not a “should”.

The lack of 1000+mbs fibre optic internet infrastructure in Rutland is embarrassing and will hold back the development of the Economic Strategy, particularly with desirable “high tech” industries. The proposed policy is outdated and lacks ambition. It must be much more ambitious if it is to equip us for the next 20 years.
It is ridiculous that the low orbit satellite “Star Link” broadband service now available in Rutland at 100-120mbs is able to offer over 3 times the speed of the FTTC land-based services currently available in many rural areas through traditional internet providers. This shows just how far Rutland is behind.
Need a clear strategy for a fibre upgrade to FTTP for the whole County with milestones and targets for reach and application.

Sorry this is not ambitious enough (See Vision re knowledge economy, skills, employment, quality of life and opportunity).
FTTP must be rolled out EVERYWHERE in Rutland as the default, with alternates only where absolutely not feasible.
FTTP just for new developments is wholly inadequate, and at odds with other pillars of the Plan.

Why just larger commercial developments? Surely, all premises should have the benefit of high quality
broadband connection; home working is specifically mentioned in the text and fibre will become essential once copper connections are discontinued.
