Story: BT slammed for 'ignoring' broadband interest
Posted by: Andrew Ballantine (Friday 3 October 2003, 4:20 PM)
I am concerned about the amount of grant money that is being wasted in semi-rural areas on satelite technology. The grant apears to be about £1,500 for each connection. Net costs are £1,500 for the first year and £3,500 for subsequent years. VERY expensive.
On our local exchange which is close to a major city which does have bradband, we are being offered grants to have satellite conections. Would it make more sense to give this grant money to BT so that they can upgrade the exchange?
