The Spring Budget has failed to recognise the importance of connectivity infrastructure in supporting growth for the UK's digital economy, says Evolve CEO Alan Stephenson-Brown, who seeks more clarity as networks continue to be rolled out.

euNetworks has deployed an additional 26km of hollowcore fibre cable between Basildon and London.
Joined with the 14km of hollowcore fibre cable deployed in September 2022 this marks a global first with a 40km total system distance with no mid-span amplification.
“We continue to be focused on delivering these solutions for our customers and deploying longer routes of hollowcore fibre in the coming quarters,” said Paula Cogan, CEO of euNetworks.
