The intervention area is, broadly, a list of all those rural premises in Northern Ireland who cannot yet get access to download speeds of at least 30Mbps. Up to £200m of funding could be made available to tackle this. Already £150m of new public funds from the Confidence and Supply Agreement could be released. If any premise is in the intervention area, it is one of the premises that could benefit from Project Stratum with this available funding.
