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.

Virgin Media O2 has launched a residential 2Gbps broadband service, Gig2, and introduced symmetrical download and upload speeds across its speed tiers as an optional add-on.
Initially, this will be available across the nexfibre network, which includes London, Cardiff, Milton Keynes, Sheffield, Manchester and Glasgow.
Gig2 was initially trialled last year and is powered by XGS-PON technology and will operate on a full fibre network.
Jeanie York, CTO at VMO2, said: “Our latest speed venture will unlock opportunities for future technologies and the ever-changing digital needs of our customers.”
