Omne calls in the Administrators
FT.com has an item indicating Omne, the great white hope for broadband in a lot of Scotland and North West England has called in the administrators.The problems appear to be that Omne are unable to raise the cash to continue with it's rollout of a new cable network, they currently have around 5000 customers.
Lets hope this valiant effort to introduce a service in an area that has often being overlooked by other providers doesn't dissappear and that the administrators can find a way to keep the company as a going concern.
From the figures of their fibre network passing 46,000 homes and acquiring 5000 customers in the short time they have had a service available suggests that there is interest in the area, just that more time is needed for word of mouth to improve the takeup.
