    http://twicket.info/ Coverage of the first village cricket matched to be streamed live on the internet was broadcast on Easter Monday 2011 - Wray versus the rest of the world! This is a proof of concept. If they can do a cricket match, think what else can be done… live streams from events which wouldn’t necessarily attract [...]

    Louis, 2013 is rather more serious than “a bit of a wait” and the real concern is your presumably informed observation that “it may take just as long to see the first benefits of BDUK’s £530m investment in fixed line broadband.” Decent broadband for Cumbrian communities is being delayed right now by the total lack [...]

    ICT is helping local residents to reopen Crosby Ravensworth’s traditional community hub, The Butchers Arms as a Community owned Pub through a public share offering via Lyvennet Community Pub Ltd.

    which means most of the funding will go through a side door into BT coffers?

    Story on BBC Technology website today: “Fujitsu is to create a superfast broadband network for rural parts of the UK, rivalling BT’s service. “Virgin Media and TalkTalk have already said they will use it to provide internet services. It will also be open to local authorities. “Much of the system will be built on BT [...]

  • Louis Mosley wrote a new blog post: Competition Hots Up For Cumbria Broadband Contract   3 weeks ago · View

    At 9am this morning, Fujitsu unveiled plans to rival BT Openreach and build an open-access wholesale fibre network to deliver next-generation broadband to 5 million homes and businesses in rural parts of the UK. This announcement is terrific news for those of us who are keen to see a fair fight for Cumbria’s £121m contract for broadband and [...]

      If they are using openreach ducts isn’t that just another way of giving BT the funding? By a side door? Also there ain’t no ducts to our rural areas, most is direct bury. My guess is they will do the larger populated areas, talk talk will move in with cabinets, and as @yarwell said on twitter, we end up with a final sixth… I remain convinced that the pilot funding should go into innovative pilots for sustainable networks in the really rural areas. Fair fight? There is no such thing. Witness the targeting of our village with the BT flyers this week. They have money to burn, you can’t fight them. Best to JFDI ourselves and let our jfdi networks prove their worth. Fiwipie can deliver far better than cabinets and BET ever can. Stay strong everyone.

    The link to the Strategy no longer works. Try this one: http://www.culture.gov.uk/images/publications/10-1320-britains-superfast-broadband-future.pdf
    Must be as a result of gvt responsibility for broadband moving from bis to cms.

    Thanks Julie. See my comment to Jill Bell. The County is not going slow on this. It is the nature of a very large EU bid that has caught the eye of many large EU bid providers. Rory Stewart has done much to set the pace for this Broadband bid and he has got the [...]

    Jill I was at the Allerdale CALC meeting at Wigton the other night. Broadband was top of the agenda. Currently Cumbria CC is out to EU procurement for a companie(s) to bid for a up to an £80m bid with matched funding, to increase the speed of Braodband in Cumbria. By the procurement criteria, the [...]

    Gotcha. I haven’t read all the documents OFCOM have put out on this recently. Interesting they WANT 4 national operators in it. This is why 100% land coverage isn’t possible because they insist multiple networks should exist. Gift the lot FOC in exchange for 100% land coverage via one network and we would solve a [...]

      OFCOM see the current networks as ”Wholesalers” and want competition at that level with MVNOs competing in retail. Part of their powers being based on economic regulation of markets I guess.
