Can’t Get Online Week

Some reflections by John Popham

Can’t get online week was sponsored by the CLA and was a tour of rural areas who just can’t get a decent internet connection and have little hope of any support from government. It highlights the issue faced by the ‘final 10%”

This campaign to help the ‘final third’ seems to have given the telcos the means to access the funding available but they are only using it to help the lucrative ‘bits’ of the third and ignoring the difficult ones.
