Consumer Panel surveys fibre activity
23 Jan 2009 | 08.33 Europe/London
The Communications Consumer Panel, the artist formerly known as the Ofcom Consumer Panel, has produced a report on 40 or so fibre based initiatives to provide faster broadband access in various locations across the UK.
Many of these have local authority involvement and range from local regeneration initiatives through to large glacial pace schemes like South Yorkshire's Digital Region and North Yorkshire's NYnet
A number of small companies are mentioned who may be struggling to fund their ambitions in the current credit environment, however the flow of PR material suggests they remain committed to their plans.
A BBC News item summarises the report and the press release is on the CCP site.
The report itself in PDF format can be downloaded from here.
