English: Thank you for that question. Dawn Bowden is absolutely right that this is a non-devolved area, but, because of market failure and the inactivity of the UK Government, the Welsh Government has been forced to step in here to divert significant resources from devolved services to address this clear failing by the UK Government to act. We have achieved significant results: a 95 per cent coverage of premises in Wales of superfast broadband. Now, we genuinely believe that fast internet access is now an essential modern service. The UK Government has a universal service obligation for postal services, so, if you post a letter to a farm track, isolated, it still - even though it may not be profitable, there's an obligation on the Royal Mail to deliver that letter. We think there should be a similar universal service obligation on telecommunications providers to provide modern, fast broadband. The UK Government's come up with what it calls a universal service obligation, which is that in name only, I'm afraid. It's a right to request up to 10 Mbps, where the cost of building is no more than £3,400, from March 2020. So, this will still leave large parts of rural Wales without a functioning broadband service. So, that clearly is not worth the paper it is written on. We are looking to see what we can do, and we have a statement and debate coming up shortly on what more the Welsh Government can do to reach the areas that we've yet to reach. There is some progress in terms of other technologies, notably 4G and 5G, which are able also to deliver internet services. I met with the telecommunications companies recently, who I'm very pleased to say have come up with their own plan to achieve a step change in provision of 4G coverage in Wales by 2025, to increase coverage from 58 per cent to 86 per cent, without intervention by Ofcom. That, I must say, is very welcome, and we are working with them to see what we can do to help maximise that beyond 86 per cent if possible. We are worried that this will only be achieved by 2025, which still leaves a very long gap. We are also working as part of bidding for 5G trials in rural areas. Simon Gibson is leading a task and finish group for the Welsh Government looking at 5G and, as part of that, has put in a bid to the DCMS 5G trials for test beds, and that is about to be considered by them, which would see a focus particularly on Blaenau Gwent, the Heads of the Valleys and Monmouthshire, which was the result of the £250,000 piece of work that the Government has supported. So, I think that there are things that we are doing, despite the fact that this is non-devolved. But, really, we need the UK Government to step up to the plate here PDQ.
Welsh: Diolch am eich cwestiwn. Mae Dawn Bowden yn llygad ei lle fod hwn yn faes heb ei ddatganoli, ond oherwydd methiant y farchnad ac anweithgarwch Llywodraeth y DU, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gorfod camu i mewn yma i ddargyfeirio adnoddau sylweddol oddi wrth wasanaethau datganoledig i fynd i'r afael â'r methiant amlwg hwn gan Lywodraeth y DU i weithredu. Rydym wedi cyflawni canlyniadau sylweddol: band eang cyflym iawn mewn 95 y cant o safleoedd yng Nghymru. Nawr, rydym yn credu o ddifrif fod mynediad cyflym at y rhyngrwyd bellach yn wasanaeth modern hanfodol. Mae gan Lywodraeth y DU rwymedigaeth gwasanaeth cyffredinol ar gyfer gwasanaethau post, felly, os ydych yn postio llythyr at drac fferm, anghysbell, mae'n dal i fod - er efallai nad yw'n broffidiol, mae gan y Post Brenhinol rwymedigaeth i ddosbarthu'r llythyr hwnnw. Credwn y dylid cael rhwymedigaeth gwasanaeth cyffredinol debyg i ddarparwyr telathrebu ddarparu band eang modern, cyflym. Mae Llywodraeth y DU yn cynnig yr hyn y mae'n ei alw'n rhwymedigaeth gwasanaeth cyffredinol, ac mae hynny mewn enw yn unig, mae arnaf ofn. Ceir hawl i ofyn am hyd at 10 Mbps, lle nad yw'r gost adeiladu yn fwy na £3,400, o fis Mawrth 2020. Felly, bydd hyn yn dal i adael rhannau helaeth o gefn gwlad Cymru heb wasanaeth band eang sy'n gweithio. Felly yn amlwg, nid yw hynny'n werth y papur y mae wedi'i ysgrifennu arno. Rydym yn edrych i weld beth y gallwn ei wneud, ac mae gennym ddatganiad a dadl cyn bo hir ar beth arall y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ei wneud i gyrraedd yr ardaloedd nad ydym wedi eu cyrraedd eto. Ceir rhywfaint o gynnydd o ran technolegau eraill, yn enwedig 4G a 5G, sydd hefyd yn gallu darparu gwasanaethau rhyngrwyd. Cyfarfûm â'r cwmnïau telathrebu yn ddiweddar, ac rwy'n falch iawn o ddweud eu bod wedi llunio eu cynllun eu hunain i sicrhau newid sylweddol o ran darpariaeth 4G yng Nghymru erbyn 2025, er mwyn cynyddu'r cwmpas o 58 y cant i 86 y cant, heb ymyrraeth gan Ofcom. Rhaid i mi ddweud bod hynny'n galonogol iawn, ac rydym yn gweithio gyda hwy i weld beth y gallwn ei wneud i helpu i gynyddu hynny y tu hwnt i 86 y cant os oes modd. Rydym yn bryderus na fydd hyn yn cael ei gyflawni tan 2025, sy'n dal i adael bwlch hir iawn. Rydym hefyd yn gweithio fel rhan o'r broses o gynnig am dreialon 5G mewn ardaloedd gwledig. Mae Simon Gibson yn arwain grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen sy'n edrych ar 5G ar gyfer Llywodraeth Cymru, ac fel rhan o hynny, mae wedi cyflwyno cais i dreialon 5G yr Adran dros Ddiwylliant, y Cyfryngau a Chwaraeon ar gyfer ardaloedd prawf, ac maent ar fin ei ystyried, cais a fyddai'n arwain at ffocws arbennig ar Flaenau Gwent, Blaenau'r Cymoedd a sir Fynwy, sef canlyniad gwaith gwerth £250,000 y mae'r Llywodraeth wedi'i gefnogi. Felly, credaf ein bod yn gwneud rhai pethau, er nad yw hyn yn fater wedi'i ddatganoli. Ond mewn gwirionedd, mae angen i Lywodraeth y DU ysgwyddo'i chyfrifoldeb am hyn ar unwaith.
