Stop Taking the Credit

An interesting article in the Computer Weekly, much talk and not much action according to them. It is a long and difficult process but they need to get a move on!

It has been a very busy past couple of weeks in Fibre Garden pushing forward on many fronts. We have reached a milestone in that our State Aide notice is drafted and currently being scrutinised before publication on our website and this blog, to be followed a month later by our Invitation to Tender for the project requirements.

In parallel to this we are working closely with our legal and taxation advisers to be able to publish our share offer early in the New Year. This will then confirm the amount of funding available to meet the building of the fibre network through Garsdale and Dentdale; this time next year it could be in the ground!

Is there a Doctor online?

100,000 to get 'doctor by broadband' in 2013

Up to 100,000 people will be able to use the internet to manage their health problems from their own homes next year, in a move ministers hope will stop “the constant merry-go-round” of medical appointments. An interesting article in the Telegraph and just one of the many services that can be delivered down fibre.

Britain's Slowest Broadband

This is an interesting article from the Rural Services Network on the top 50 slowest broadband streets in Britain.  Looking at the comments following the article there appears to be some dispute on the data but I think it paints a reasonable picture.
