Roger Darlington, of OFCOM's Consumer Panel, presented at the Next Gen 08 Conference in Manchester in early November. OFCOM have published an interesting video on YouTube contrasting experiences of users with next generation access and some UK broadband users.

Roger raised concerns about the scope of NGA coverage as a proportion of the population are likely to be beyond the economic reach of a commercial NGA rollout, leading to digital exclusion from the many society activities and services likely to evolve as more bandwidth becomes available.

There is even a suggestion that NGA rollout should start with current broadband notspots, although nobody seems to be stepping forward to meet this challenge.
