Re: That's paying £4.5k per customer
Kcom's MD Sean Royce in interview with BBC:
He says the benefits of full fibre are already being felt, with £469m of incremental economic activity in the area that would not have happened without it.
From another piece:
Research from tech research consultancy Innovation Observatory found that Lightstream had contributed £469m of economic wealth to Hull and surrounding areas.
This includes £234m in extra Gross Value Added to the region’s economy and £204m in salaries of additional staff employed in local businesses whose growth has been attributable to Lightstream.
Small businesses which run from home have also benefited from in excess of £1m in additional revenues.
My lady friend runs her mainly online businesses from home, and when she moved in with me and my FTTP she found things which previously took her an age to do - like uploading content, backups etc - took significantly less time - things which she had allocated an afternoon to get done would be done in under an hour, freeing her up to do more productive things.
