The Government has today published their ‘National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline’ report, which reveals the scale of public and private investment that is underway or expected to be put toward 5G mobile and broadband ISP connectivity (especially full fibre FTTP) between 2018/19 and 2020/21 (financial year). The UK is spending £6.85bn ($8.72bn) on digital infrastructure projects covering 5G and broadband connectivity, according to a National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline report. But the report also found that only one in five of these projects was being delivered by 2021, with just over half going ahead before 2030. Treasury Exchequer Secretary Robert Jenrick said total infrastructure investment would be the highest for more than 40 years.
