Very interesting… I’m glued to the twitter feed.

I’ll do no such thing, Chris! My mum is a farmer’s wife (albeit with fairly good broadband!) and you’re welcome to vent here, I always like your comments. I have no more influence than you do on gov policy on infrastructure matters though.

I have been watching from afar, via twitter and the livestream. I overheard several ‘private’ conversations and was distinctly impressed by the sincerity and the keen sense of community and ‘wishing to do it right’ that I heard.
I should have muted it but I am very nosy.
I think the people there are brilliant, innovative and caring, but I do feel I have to remind you ALL that none of this stuff can happen until we have the pipes. And its no use you thinking ‘Oh no not that mad farmers’ wife’ again. Until everyone has access to the internet, until it is ‘easy’ or ‘boring’ as Brian Condon says, then engagement won’t happen. Whoever reads this just remember that the spin from gov and ofcom etc is just that. Its spin. We do not have the infrastructure or data centres to cope. The victorian copper phone network was never designed to cater for all your fantastic plans. Don’t be conned. Do all in your power to expose the failings and think of solutions. (clue, fibre to the home)
sorry neil, delete this post if it really bugs you. I won’t take offence.
well not much.
