BT published its Suppliers Information Note for the Radio Broadband service designed for Northern Ireland in August 2005.

Broadband is a major growth market around the world, 24.5 million million homes moved to a broadband connection in the first six months of 2005 alone.

Even with ADSL coverage approaching the magic 100% figure, there are still households and small communities out of reach of the commercially driven roll-outs.

Forest Green in Surrey carries the distinction of being the only area of Surrey with a BT exchange that does not have a RFS date or an ADSL enabled exchange.

Very often small businesses wonder what broadband in its various forms will do for them, and as the various roll-outs edge closer to universal coverage, more companies are looking into they can use broadband for. This showcase gives people plenty of food for thought.

Virgin Digital is a new download service launched only last week. Telewest has announced a two year deal, giving its customers a range of benefits from the site.

To broadband die-hards it may not seem much, but using an ADSL link to stream content to a hospital radio station is a way of showing broadband in action.

It seems the race for the fastest connections in the UK is on, with the latest news from Bulldog.

After the news last week that BT is to put the SDSL roll-out on hold, further information suggesting a number of SDSL exchanges have no customers is emerging.

The Office of National Statistics is now reporting that broadband formed 52.4% of all Internet connections in the UK.
