It seems Herefordshire is trying to force the introduction of ultrafast broadband in its Enterprise Zone undercutting the traditional leased line market.

The ISPA Awards are ready to be announced but the sealed envelopes will not be opened until 2nd July, but the shortlists for the Internet Hero and Internet Villain categories are now available.

The patchy coverage of superfast broadband and the presence of slow spots in London is back on the agenda with the Mayor of London spending £50,000 to try and map demand and run a rating scheme for office buildings.

Another of the BDUK projects has finished its first phase, so it is time to see how close they have got to the original ambitions.

The hard work and dedication of the team behind by B4RN now has official recognition with two of the team receiving the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

The next stage for the roll-out of superfast services in Cornwall has been laid out and should by around 2019 see superfast coverage at 99% of premises in the county.

BT Sport is rejigging itself and while a basic channel package remains free the best deals are for those taking the BT TV bundles, which will also support the new Ultra HD channel that launches in August.

The ISPA Awards are four weeks away on Thursday 2nd July, so it is time to nominate who the ISPA Council should consider the prestigious Internet Hero and less coveted Internet Villain Awards.

While some people maintain the BDUK projects across the UK are a disaster they are delivering something and people are buying it.
