In response to the Government's broadband announcement, Andrew Griffith, Sky’s Group Chief Operating Officer, said:

“We welcome the Government’s announcement on broadband investment, which chimes with our view that the future is full fibre.  Government has played its part through this package of measures, which should help kick start the investment needed to push the UK up the league table. But we won’t achieve the necessary step change in driving full fibre investment across the country unless Ofcom also takes bold and decisive action on the future of BT Openreach."
