BDUK is demonstrably a failure

It has not, and can not deliver fast ubiquitous broadband for the UK. That is why this document

Was sent to the House of Lords/Commons, MPs etc and is currently being read in Brussels.

It is possible to deliver fast (100Mbps+) broadband universally - but not this way - and not by doling out cash to BT.

Ofcom, BT, Geo, Government - whose fault is it?

We recently published a white paper, specifically looking at the problems of delivering broadband in Wales (with particular emphasis on rural areas).

Ofcom are a significant issue (they have totally failed to deliver the competitive market space they claim - chase headlines - mislead the reader of their press releases).

BT are an issue - but primarily because they need to chase profit, rather than any malign or malevolent motivation.

Government has lots to answer for, with some of their decisions in the past.

We've a lot of sympathy for Geo's position, but are we surprised.... Not at all. The broadband infrastructure in the UK is about to slip into several decades of malaise - unless something is done - and done now.
