Innovation online depends on broadband infrastructure How are we doing?
Broadband Britain • Extensive broadband availability • But 3m homes & businesses can’t get 2mbps • 160,000 can’t get broadband at all • Average speed is 5.2Mbps • In cable areas >15 Mbps • Global comparisons • UK is 27th in OECD rankings • 18th in Broadband Quality Study • Unranked in the FTTH Council league table

Assuming the need for bandwidth will grow, this represents a major investment opportunity
Holy Crap – 100 Terabyte Broadband [Gulp] Okay this isn’t something we are going to see happening tomorrow, especially if you live the US and Canada with their increasing draconian attitudes about users getting the best broadband experience at a reasonable price, but New Scientist is reporting that NEC scientists have achieved 101.7 Tbs speeds. They did this by cramming the light from 370 lasers into 165 kilometers of fiber, only to be out done by NICT researchers who achieved 109 Tbps by using a special fiber with seven cores.
We need a Big Society approach involvingPublicPrivate &Community Investment
These are not charitable donations they are real investments Peter Day, In Business, BBC Radio 4 Communities invest in services they need & value
