Fibre overlooked in UK infrastructure planning

Lee Myall, CEO of Neos Networks, outlines how, over the past decade, there’s been a huge amount of investment in last-mile fibre builds, but core fibre networks across the country have received much less attention. Without them, workloads cannot move between data centres, data cannot be trained, and investments stall. The UK has the ambition, the demand and the regional readiness to lead in AI, but, as Lee explains, if we don’t address fibre gaps, we risk losing out on one of the greatest economic opportunities of our generation.
