WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HÉRISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 19th FEBRUARY 2013
Question
Can the Minister, as the shareholder representative, confirm whether the connection targets announced at the start of the Gigabyte Jersey project still stand and, if not, what revisions have occurred?
Answer
Priority is being given to broadband connections so that users will benefit from the faster broadband speeds over those who use voice-only services. The Board of JT has confirmed it will focus on the rollout of fibre to broadband users.
The response to Deputy Le Hérissier's oral question on 29th January 2013 was that the Board of JT is engaged in intensive discussions with its principal supplier. Those discussions are continuing. The commitment remains to communicate back to Members when the discussions with sub-contractors have been completed.
