The media and internet industries are once again at logger heads.

The Country Land and Business Association has come out on the offensive over the recent Digital Britain Summit.

The Digital Britain report is still in the process of its final version being written, and as part of the process a Digital Britain Summit was held at the British Library in London.

BBC's TV catchup service, BBC iPlayer, is to benefit from high definition content and further updates to improve the quality of the video on the service.

Virgin Media is told off by the ASA for a national press advert claiming 'ONLY 3 OUT OF 10 HOMES IN THE UK CAN GET 8Mb OR MORE OVER BT PHONE LINES. 10 OUT OF 10 HOMES WITH OUR FIBRE OPTIC BROADBAND CAN GET 20Mb'

160Mbps broadband using cable broadband sounds fast, but it is trumped by 1Gbps fibre to the home in Japan.

Orange may buy the remains of Project Kangaroo to enhance its IPTV service running in France.

Over the last 24 hours, a tunnel has collapsed in East London plunging many broadband users back into the pre-broadband era of the nineties.

A BT advert promoting a free home hub has fallen foul of the ASA as the cost of hub phone was not prominent enough.

It has been said that broadband and telephone costs in the UK are about as low as they can be, and the price changes from Virgin Media and TalkTalk may reflect that a period of price shuffling is underway.
