People need to be 100% clear what a pilot should achieve. This must be fully defined before any money is spent and covers technology, installation, finances, support, expandability etc. For broadband it should show how the solution can be rolled out over a much wider area.

This project has been running for quite some time before I came involved in it, (as a Broadband Champion). Is there anywhere I can go to see what the object and rules of the exercise are as it currently appears to be small groups fighting for their own corner and not an overall plan for rural Cumbria?

http://interactive.bis.gov.uk/comment/bduk/superfast-broadband-pilots-cumbria/ would be a start, then you’ll have to ask BDUK and CCC possibly via FOI requests to disclose the detail.
In my view it was a pilot on innovative delivery for BDUK, not a county wide thing at all. Compare with other pilots. The County wide solution would be bidding…[Read more]

That is an interesting observation! The Eden declaration is a good place to start. Unfortunately since then the process has become rather stagnated in the bureaucracy of procurement - some of this is a necessary evil. This is however a race - not to infinity - but to get the first real super fast networks installed (to solve not just Broadband but…[Read more]

Agree Martin. Once we have a pilot up and running so that people can see what real broadband is then getting the numbers isn’t an issue and other communities can do the same. Looks like the BDUK funding is going to be spread so thin it will be worthless. Instead of doing a pilot or two its gonna go into the big copper pot. And we will end up with…[Read more]

Asby’s weather-related disaster and subsequent loss of equipment reminds me that years ago, we looked at community broadband insurance solutions. We found several companies willing to look at approriate policies as they had nothing in place to cater for anything other than cybercafes which didn’t really fit the bill.
As DVPs and hence first…[Read more]

Found this - “FTTH is often said to be ‘future-proof’, but the future appears to have veered off in a different direction – one in which wireless devices and services capture new consumer spend while take-up of NGA-based services is troublingly low.”

I have to say that I increasingly use my smartphone rather than a…[Read more]

Good comments but needs a response.
There is no doubt that fixed and mobile wireless devices will continue to dominate in our lives. However we are also seeing tremendous growth of the use of wireless spectrum in our homes as well. The data rates for mobile devices in our homes now vastly exceed the current typical wired connections to our homes.…[Read more]

I certainly understand the Mbits/MHz limits and the limited spectrum, however high cell site density at lower power does address that to some extent. I must re-read the Analysys Mason report for OFCOM on use of wireless for the final third.
FTTmast may be the way to go - a lot of short range 3G / 4G masts with bandwidth re-use rather than a few…[Read more]
-
A big problem faced by mobile operators is that they need at least twice the bandwidth - one lot for the subscriber link and one lot for the back haul. If the back haul issue could be solved by getting fibre closer to the village pump for instance then yes you can build a lot of masts and illuminate the valleys very well. So Fibre to the mast is a…[Read more]

After quite a lot of interaction on the Cumbria County Council ‘have your say’ site we have been accused of hijacking the thread (so that worked then!) and a new thread has been created so that people can continue to pursue the topic of Broadband for Cumbria on the county Council’s consultation site. As with [...]

Hello
The following site is a project set up by the broad band Champion for Hallbankgate Katie Douglass,
It came to mind having read Kate Norman’s last blog; it might fill a need in your area for those like “Brian” in the blog by Katehttp://www.seachangelearning.co.uk/node/36

I’m looking for a speaker to come and talk to a public meeting in the parish about why we need better broadband. Anyone have any suggestions as to who might be suitable / available please?

Hi Barry, I read your post with interest last night, and hoped somebody would reply to confirm or correct your thinking as appropriate. I would love to see the financial modelling the telcos use as I believe there must be a strong financial case for FTTH now, but others, like your good self, understand these economics better than I do. I too think…[Read more]
