In England the government has started to review how the future of the internet is going to develop.
The government has said it will review the future of broadband internet in the UK amid calls that it should help firms pay for installing new infrastructure.
The world is advancing quickly to the next generation of broadband internet networks, super-fast internet highways that will power the business world of the future. The UK does not want to be left behind, to linger in the low-speed world of 2Mb ADSL lines.
The review has been ordered by Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform – and according to the industry, the current infrastructure is sadly lacking and cannot accommodate the increase in demand that the future holds – such as demand for services for downloading and streaming.
The UK is falling behind France and Germany who are already trialling broadband with much faster download speeds than anything offered in the UK.
