Story: E-envoy: broadband divide will wreck rural economy

Posted by: Joe Buckley (Monday 29 September 2003, 11:05 AM)

Its still not just 'rural' areas that can't get broadband.

Here in Milton Keynes there are still significant fractions of the town still too far (mainly due to the extremely circuitous cable routes ) from an exchange to get Broadband service. I'm OK, both at home and work, but many aren't

An associated company of ours in Chesterfield (ironically in an 'innovation centre' built to create new jobs to replace 'traditional' industries) appears to have no prospect of BB anytime soon.

One of the issues appears to be that BT's criteria for enabling exchanges only deal with consumer demand, Businesses don't fit in to the system.
