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.

Homes and businesses connected to Openreach’s Tring network were left without broadband or phone services after a rodent gnawed through the outer casing of the operator’s cables to build a nest.
Since discovering the damage engineers have worked to repair the damage. This proved a struggle as the underground chambers had been covered over within a private property.
The repair included rerouting 650 metres of cabling to avoid disturbing the nest.
