Story: Europe sets state-aid rules for broadband rollouts
interesting...
so..
funding can only be sought for a "national grid" type solution?
whereby all operators can use the bandwidth and akin to the BT model, pay the carrier a fee for each connection?
Does this not mean we end up with the same mess we have now with ADSL?, highly over subscribed carriers looking to get as many people onto them as possible?
Why don't we do this with mobile phone networks?, force them all to allow transparent roaming.. would fix a load of coverage problems overnight... of course it couldn't work in reality, as with the ADSL "competitive" model, it does not take into account the need for businesses to be independent and to strive to produce a better feed than their competitors..
with ADSL, if you get 512kbps that's what you will get with ALL ADSL ISP's regardless... where is the incentive there for the ISP's? its a stranglehold.
Independent providers are going to suffer with no funding because they choose to provide a fast solution to their customers... great plan!
