"Fujitsu is to create a superfast broadband network for rural parts of the UK, rivalling BT's service.

Much of the system will be built on BT infrastructure, such as underground ducting and phone poles, which it has been forced to open up to competitors.
Fujitsu wants £500m of government money to help fund the project.

This cash comes from a fund originally intended to help the digital switchover. A further £300m, from the BBC licence fee, will be available after 2015."
