Broadband for the Rural North

= B4RN, a community-wide, co-operative, and collaborative 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."
