A Value for Money and Policy Review of Phase I of the Metropolitan Area Networks Programme is currently being finalised in my Department. Additionally, a consultation policy paper on Next Generation Broadband is also being finalised. Both reports, which I intend to publish in the coming weeks, will help to inform future decisions in this area including any future phases of the MANs.
