Communications giant BT has hit back at claims it is not contributing enough to the Government programme to roll out superfast broadband in rural areas. Responding to claims in a report by the National Audit Office (NAO) that the company is expected to provide just 23% of the overall ￡1.5bn cost, a company spokesman said the firm has committed more than ￡500m and more than a third of the contracts have yet to be signed. 'We believe we will contribute around 38% of the total funds by the end of the programme, which is well above the 23% claimed in this report,' said the spokesman.
