Research Round-up September 2024

 

Key publication of the month:

 

 

Over the past few months, Point Topic has developed a tool to give our clients a new edge in competitor analysis for the highly competitive UK broadband market.


Leveraging authoritative open data sources from the four home nations, we have developed our own approach to filtering and processing APIs and feeds of roadworks data to identify the most relevant events with direct relation to the broadband industry.




 

By filtering and labelling events, formatting data into an accessible and relevant format, as well as adding the most useful geo fields, we have created a new product that directly caters to our clients in the broadband industry.

This tool, already used by a select group of clients, allows users to see roadworks by competitors across the UK. A powerful predictor for future deployment and infrastructure roll-out, this allows users to understand where broadband operators are operating and planning to deploy months or years before ready-for-service availability begins.
