= B4RN, a community-wide, co-operative, and collaborative FTTH initiative
URL = http://b4rn.org.uk/
Description
"The purpose of the project is to take a new approach to the ownership, financial and deployment models used traditionally, and still proposed by, telecommunications companies. These models invariably leave rural areas outside of the scope of economic viability for the telecoms companies, and have helped to create the Digital Divide between rural and urban Britain."
Personal Experience
Simon Grant is connected through this network and was an active volunteer helping to create his local section.
