Housing: Overview Appendix 1a - Housing: Overview What are the benefits we're pursuing for Londoners? 1) More Londoners have access to good quality homes that meet their needs and that they can afford. 2) Londoners renting privately will get a better deal and be protected from criminal landlords. 3) The scourge of homelessness will be tackled and all rough sleepers will be offered a route off the streets. Governance and risk Targets and objectives Timescales Spend A AGG Updates Highlights and progress Affordable homes (and land) - To the end of December, 33,767 affordable housing starts had been recorded against the Mayor's target of 116,000 housing starts by March 2022. The Mayor's new Building Council Homes for Londoners programme is now in delivery and the first units (121) are captured in this figure. Allocations are in place for about 107,000 affordable homes against the overall target; this is good progress with over three years left to add starts. - A planning application was submitted to LB Newham for 5,000 homes on land owned by the GLA and joint venture partners Keystone. Rogue Landlord and Agents Checker (RLAC) - Media coverage by the Guardian, in which it contrasted the Checker favourably with the Government's national database, led to higher than expected visits to the RLAC; there have been 74,600 clicks since this metric began to be tracked (ie. over the 2018 calendar year). Homelessness - No Second Night Out (NSNO) floating assessment hubs took place in Newham, Lambeth and Hackney in Q3 with further hubs planned for Westminster, Southwark and Camden in Q4. Performance for Q3 was that 81% of those accessing the hubs were provided accommodation and 73% exited rough sleeping. - All Housing Justice staff are recruited and an additional 68 bed spaces were made available by the end of Q3, with a further 66 to be available from Q4 through the Equipping Shelter fund. - All boroughs have signed up to the new Severe Weather Emergency Provision protocol, including the 'in for good' principle.

There are three types of such homes: i) low cost rented homes, allocated according to need to Londoners on low incomes; ii) intermediate rented homes for Londoners on middle incomes; and iii) affordable home ownership aimed at Londoners who cannot afford to buy on the open market. The target is to start on site to build 116,000 affordable homes between April 2015 and the end of March 2022. - The number of starts from previous years from the current programme is 27,701 (7,231 in 2015-16; 7,915 in 2016-17 and 12,555 2017-18). - 'Start on site' means the occurrence of all of the following: a) the building contract has been entered into; b) the building contractor has taken possession of the site; and c) the start on site works have commenced. Commentary - To the end of December (and since April 2015), 33,767 affordable housing starts had been recorded against the Mayor's target of 116,000 housing starts by March 2022. We expect to meet this year's target, achieving in excess of 14,000 further starts. - Additional funding to deliver affordable homes by 2022 was announced over the course of the summer, increasing allocations against the target. - Allocations for the Building Council Homes for Londoners programme were made in October for 14,724 homes to 2022. Allocations for almost 10,000 additional affordable homes and six new Strategic Partners were announced in November. Allocations are now in place for about 107,000 affordable homes of the 116,000 target. - We are working with housing providers to increase starts in 2019/20, 20/21 and 21/22. Meetings with major partners are continuing with a review of any interventions needed to increase their programmes. - We have entered into an Memorandum Of Understanding with the Department of Health and Social Care extending the timeframe for the Care and Support programme to (starts by) 31 March 2021, with a budget of up to £31m in 2018/19 and up to £24m in each of the two subsequent years. - The indicator has been rated amber as delivery against the full target is challenging, particularly in relation to the volumes expected in in the final two years of the programme. 10,000 Council Homes target PI-4 Past Years' Most Recent Cumulative 2018/19 2019/20 Data next End Target On track?

One of the key objectives of the programme is to build at least 10,000 new council and Right to Buy replacement homes. - All homes started by councils between October 2018 and March 2022 and recorded on GLA OPS (the GLA's grants/project management system) will be reported against the 10,000 Council Homes target. The definition of 'start' is the same as for the wider Affordable Homes Programme. Commentary - This target represents an approximate five-fold increase compared to recent delivery, so is extremely challenging - hence the amber rating. Area Teams are working closely with boroughs to address delivery issues and provide support and expertise to help councils with specific project issues. Bids for the GLA's Homebuilding Capacity Fund, set up to provide further support to the boroughs have now been received and these are under going assessment now. - Bidding for the programme closed on 30 September 2018 with great ambition shown by London's councils. On 23 October 2018 the Mayor announced funding allocations for over 14,000 new affordable homes. These will now be worked up into contractual commitments. While some attrition to the programme may occur, particularly in relation to the timeframes for delivery, the over-programming will assist in the aim to achieve this challenging target. - The first contract for Building Council Homes for Londoners has now been signed, with a focus on completing the remainder in February 2019. An indicative profile of delivery against the 10,000, for this and next year, is presented here for the first time (only the overall 10,000 target was included in the Q2 report).

  • Hacking the Master Switch? the Role of Infrastructure in Google's
    Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s by John Harris Stevenson A thesis submitteD in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by John Harris Stevenson 2017 Hacking the Master Switch? The Role of Infrastructure in Google’s Network Neutrality Strategy in the 2000s John Harris Stevenson Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract During most of the decade of the 2000s, global Internet company Google Inc. was one of the most prominent public champions of the notion of network neutrality, the network design principle conceived by Tim Wu that all Internet traffic should be treated equally by network operators. However, in 2010, following a series of joint policy statements on network neutrality with telecommunications giant Verizon, Google fell nearly silent on the issue, despite Wu arguing that a neutral Internet was vital to Google’s survival. During this period, Google engaged in a massive expansion of its services and technical infrastructure. My research examines the influence of Google’s systems and service offerings on the company’s approach to network neutrality policy making. Drawing on documentary evidence and network analysis data, I identify Google’s global proprietary networks and server locations worldwide, including over 1500 Google edge caching servers located at Internet service providers. ii I argue that the affordances provided by its systems allowed Google to mitigate potential retail and transit ISP gatekeeping. Drawing on the work of Latour and Callon in Actor– network theory, I posit the existence of at least one actor-network formed among Google and ISPs, centred on an interest in the utility of Google’s edge caching servers and the success of the Android operating system.

  • The Transition to Digital Television*
    DIGITAL TELEVISION 1 The Transition to Digital Television* Jérôme Addaa and Marco Ottavianib University College London; London Business School This paper studies the role of economic policy for the transition from analogue to digital television, with particular attention to the switch off of the analogue terrestrial signal. The analogue signal cannot be credibly switched off until almost all viewers have migrated to digital, due to universality of access to television. But before switch off, only part of the population can be reached with the digital signal. In addition, those who are reached need to spend more to upgrade their reception equipment than after switch off, because the capacity to increase the power of the digital signal will be made available only then. After reviewing the competitive structure and the role of government intervention in television markets, we present the early experience of a number of industrialised countries in the transition to digital television. We then formulate a micro-econometric model of digital television adoption by individual viewers. The model is calibrated to UK data and simulated to predict the impact of government policies on the take up of digital television. Policy makers can affect the speed of take up of digital television by: (i) controlling the quality of the signals and the content of public service broadcasters; (ii) intervening in the market for digital equipment with subsidies; and (iii) publicising the conditions and date of switch off of the analogue signal. We find that if the analogue terrestrial signal is switched off conditionally on aggregate adoption, strategic delays possibly arise and expectations affect the success of the switch off policy.

Channel 4 faces a similar obligation under Section 288. On 3 April 2017, Ofcom became the first external regulator of the BBC. Under the Charter and Agreement, Ofcom must set an operating licence for the BBC’s UK public services containing regulatory conditions. We are currently consulting on the proposed quotas as set out in the draft operating licence published on 29 March 2017. See https://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations-and- statements/ofcom-and-the-bbc for further details. As our new BBC responsibilities did not start until April 2017 and this report is based on 2016 data, the BBC quotas reported on herein were set by the BBC Trust. This document sets out the titles of programmes that the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 certified were ‘Made outside of London’ (MOL) productions broadcast during 2016. The name of the production company responsible for the programme is also included where relevant. Wherever this column is empty the programme was produced in-house by the broadcaster.

  • BMCR: Final Statement
    Business Connectivity Market Review Annex 35 Legal instruments Section 1 SMP conditions for BT and KCOM Notification of the identification of markets, the making of market power determinations and the setting of SMP services conditions in relation to BT and KCOM under section 45 of the Communications Act 2003 Background 1. On 28 March 2013, Ofcom published a statement entitled “Business Connectivity Market Review, Review of retail leased lines, wholesale symmetric broadband origination and wholesale trunk segments”.1 That document set out Ofcom’s conclusions on its third review of the relevant markets relating to leased lines and backhaul circuits used by businesses and communication providers, by identifying markets, making certain market determinations and setting SMP conditions (including charge control conditions). At Annexes 7 and 8 to that document, Ofcom published notifications under sections 48 and 49 of the Act, dated 28 March 2013, containing its market identifications, market power determinations and the setting of SMP conditions and directions to be applied to BT and KCOM, respectively (“March 2013 Notification”). 2. On 20 December 2013, Ofcom published a consultation document entitled “Regulatory Financial Reporting – A Review” (“2013 RFR Consultation”). In that consultation, Ofcom made proposals in relation to the regulatory financial reporting SMP obligations of BT. In particular, Ofcom no longer proposed to apply to BT the regulatory accounting conditions set out in the regulatory statement “The regulatory financial reporting obligations on BT and Kingston Communications Final statement and notification – Accounting separation and cost accounting: Final Statement notification” (“2004 RFR Statement”). Ofcom proposed no changes to the regulatory accounting SMP obligations of KCOM.

We have also decided that segments identified as regional trunk should be included in the market for low bandwidth TISBO services. A14.2 This annex explains in more detail our conclusions on the location of trunk nodes that we use to set the boundary between TI trunk and terminating segments. We explain the basis for our conclusion that we should define this boundary on the same basis as identified in the March 2013 BCMR Statement. Declining volumes in the TI market mean there has been no material investment in interconnection by OCPs, and instead many OCPs have rationalised their own networks by reducing the number of points at which they interconnect with BT since the March 2013 BCMR Statement.
