totally agree with this article, just what I thought when I read about it in the paper. I went straight to the website to see what it was really all about (can't trust papers to get the right story) and sure enough, it was only for the chosen few. AGAIN.
The countryside can whistle for decent broadband, no-one will deliver it. We are not economic. Even the funding streams set up to help us won't use the funds for us, they channel it into half baked schemes to 'raise awareness'. Anyone would think we weren't aware that we need decent bandwidth the same as everyone else!
As Graeme says, there is a new broadband divide actively growing again.
