UK doesn’t make the fibre networks league table
13th February 2009
Should we start worrying about the future economic competitiveness of our country?
It was announced at a recent fibre network meeting in Copenhagen that the UK has so little fibre network ‘fibre to the home’ we don’t even make the league table. Basically this means that UK has less than 1% of its homes and businesses linked to superfast optical networks used to deliver broadband.
The Digital Britain interim report is still out for consultation, in which Lord Carter encourages high speed broadband but there is no real commitment to how the Government will fund the infrastructure. If you get a free minute, log on and help the lobby, if we can’t get the infrastructure sorted, we risk letting our businesses and citizens become disadvantaged!
