Interesting article in the Guardian yesterday:
“With BT reporting its annual results next week, the Guardian is starting the debate over what new targets the government should set. We will be asking ….. for ideas on what Britain’s Broadband Vision should look like.”
You can read the full article “Why Britain’s Broadband is Heading for the Slow Lane” <HERE>.
As this parliament is now mid-term, it will be interesting to see whether the debate will change anything with the current process – or indeed whether the government will be persuaded with new ideas from this (and other) debates!
