Our ‘fibre to the premises’ programme is a game changer and nobody is better placed than Charles to drive home that message and help people to discover more about the impact this investment will have on the city’s digital future.” Cityfibre has hired a former police communications director to oversee the rollout of its ultrafast broadband network in Cambridge. Charles Kitchin, who previously served as the director of public engagement and communication for the area's police force, will lead the £20m ($26.1m) expansion of Cityfibre's existing 44 km network, which aims to cover 60,000 premises across the entire city by the end of 2021. The new network is expected to be completed within two years at an estimated cost of around £2bn, with plans drawn up for it to open later this year.
