Innovation online depends on broadband infrastructure
How are we doing?
Broadband Britain
Extensive broadband availabilityBut 3m homes & businesses can’t get 2mbps160,000 can’t get broadband at all
Average speed is 5.2MbpsIn cable areas >15 Mbps
Global comparisonsUK is 27th in OECD rankings18th in Broadband Quality StudyUnranked in the FTTH Council league table

Investment Target
NGA Fund-Raising Target
Assuming the need for bandwidth will grow, this represents a major investment opportunity
Okay this isn’t something we are going to see
happening tomorrow, especially if you live the US
and Canada with their increasing draconian
attitudes about users getting the best broadband
experience at a reasonable price, but
New Scientist is reporting that NEC scientists
have achieved 101.7 Tbs speeds.
They did this by cramming the light from 370 lasers into 165 kilometers of fiber, only to
be out done by NICT researchers who achieved 109 Tbps by using a special fiber with
seven cores.
Holy Crap – 100 Terabyte Broadband [Gulp]
We need a Big Society approach involvingPublic
Private &Community Investment
Communities invest in services they need & value
These are not charitable donations they are real investments
