Which of the following is not a parameter assessed under the Digital Connectivity Rating framework?
- A.Fibre readiness of the property
- B.Availability of mobile network
- C.Carpet area and the number of parking slots
- D.Wi-Fi infrastructure in the building
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is carpet area and the number of parking slots. The rating framework is about how well a building is wired and covered for communication, so its yardsticks are fibre readiness, whether a mobile network is available inside, the connectivity solutions built into the structure and the Wi-Fi the property offers, with benchmarks that differ from one category of property to another. Carpet area and parking belong to real-estate description and have nothing to do with the connectivity assessment. Fibre readiness, mobile network availability and Wi-Fi infrastructure are all part of the framework, which is why options A, B and D are wrong choices for a question that asks what is left out. The purpose of the exercise is to make connectivity a visible and verifiable attribute of a property, so buyers can compare buildings on it.
