SID2 High speed internet access is highly necessary for almost all premises. A mere statement of what will be available at first occupation should be inadequate. Proposals intending not to provide state-of-the-art access should be required to provide robust justification for not doing so, though there will be some buildings where this is obviously unnecessary. It is generally cheaper to provide this as part of construction than to retrofit it subsequently.
