Light Blue Fibre Ltd is a joint venture between the University of Cambridge and Cambridgeshire County Council, to make commercially available both organisations’ existing extensive duct and fibre networks. Offering access to over 100km of ducting and dark fibre on a wholesale basis, both the University of Cambridge and Cambridgeshire County Council have plans to further expand their duct and fibre assets. This private company, wholly owned but the University of Cambridge and Cambridgeshire County Council, is one of the first of its kind in the UK.
