The government has said that the Digital Britain report is to be delayed, and has confirmed timing for when Lord Carter will step down.
The Digital Britain report, which is expected to recommend greater broadband access for the whole of the UK, was due to be published on Tuesday 16 June.
However, this publication has been pushed back until later in the week, according to a government press release.
"Lord Carter will present his report to Cabinet on Tuesday before it is published later next week," said Friday's statement. "He will then put in place a detailed implementation plan before the summer recess. We can confirm that he will step down at summer recess with the completion of his work, as originally intended and with the full agreement of the Prime Minister."
Previously to this however, a Department for Culture, Media and Sport spokeswoman told VNUnet that the government "will not be speculating on who would replace [Carter] if he is to be replaced".
