My latest column in South East Business Magazine discussed the current poor performance of communications, both mobile and fixed line broadband, in this country.
At the same time, my IoD colleague Dan Lewis produced a report echoing my concerns on the subject stating
“Now is the time to set a bold new target for genuinely world-beating broadband. We have the leading internet economy in the G20, and yet download speeds are mediocre and the coverage of fibre optic cable is woeful. The demand for data is growing exceptionally fast, and with Virtual Reality and the Internet of Things just around the corner, about to grow even faster. But our network is behind the curve. Unfortunately, the Government’s current target displays a distinct poverty of ambition.”
I can’t help but agree!
