Ok so its all about cable speedtoday and we will find out if HMG will cough up to fund the new hig speed networks that we need to get us ahead of the game online Of course it is essential for the country's well being economically that we get on with it and dont just talk about who is going to pay for it or who is willing to get it going. Like roads, these things need to happen to make everything else happen! So it's really simple, HMG need to basically force teh issue and make it the industry do it or lose ther right to function.
Now Virgin Media could be an example of how companies should not be allowed to opperate if we really are to get a truely fully functional network. Cost is the big issue and ok they are a business. BUT and a big but madam! My area is covered by Virgin Media and the cable runs a few meters from my front door, but they will not connect me because it casts them too much to dig up the drive and do it!!!! My understanding is NTL would have done it. I didnt live here yet then! damn!
Everyone around me has Virgin media except me as they seem to either have connected in teh NTL days or their lawn is by the pipe. Ricjard, dear Richard you are running a monop[oly of teh worst kind.
This should not be allowed esle we will have people who will not eve have teh services and hence second class. So i guess Farms and businesses on small estates out of the way...you know where it will go........HMG dont let them do this please....else we will be run 100% by capital and 0% by social concerns. Money may shout teh ludest but it should not be the only thing heard.
Odda hear.
