The Labour Leader for North Swindon, Jim Grant, has called on the council to stop spending public money on the construction of a superfast (24Mbps+) fixed wireless broadband network from UKB Networks because it is now in “direct competition” with BT and Virgin Media’s new “fibre” networks.

The ITS Technology group, which has deployed a mix of superfast and ultrafast fibre optic and wireless broadband networks around the UK, has appointed Openreach’s former Managing Director of Business and Corporate delivery, Daren Baythorpe, to be its new MD.

From today anybody choosing to use their Mobile phone (SIM) to make calls, text or use data (Mobile Broadband) while roaming around the European Union should be able to do so for the same price as they pay their UK operator (i.e. no extra roaming charges), albeit with a few caveats for data.
