2014 NextGen Digital Challenge Awards Name UK Best Broadband Networks

Wednesday, Nov 12th, 2014 (10:29 am) - Score 598

The NextGen Conference in Derby has today revealed the winners of their annual 2014 Digital Challenge Awards, which are designed to showcase projects from across the United Kingdom that deliver the “best in next generation digital access infrastructure innovation“. This year saw JT (Jersey Telecom) and the ITS Technology Group both scoop gongs for their broadband deployments.

Last year’s event saw broadband ISPs and network builders like MS3 pick-up the gong for Best Urban Network (as a result of their business fibre optic deployment in Hull), meanwhile the hybrid fibre optic and wireless platform deployed by Village Networks secured the award for Best Rural Network.

This year the categories were a bit different, albeit still covering roughly the same sort of fields.

Added all of the runners up, which curiously appears to redefine the concept of a runner-up award by announcing two runners up for several categories. Might as well just give all those shortlisted the same gong and be done with it.
