New EU Videos Show B4RN Building its Community 1Gbps FTTH Broadband

The community funded and built 1Gbps B4RN Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH/P) network in rural parts of Lancashire, Cumbria and Yorkshire has received some extra support from the EU’s Digital Single Market team, which has published a couple of new videos on the project.

The videos are based on an interview that was conducted by a representative of the European Commission with B4RN’s outspoken network engineer, Chris Conder. We’re not sure precisely when the interview was conducted, although some of the segments in the video(s) appear to be from earlier phases of their deployment.

Apparently the EU liked Chris and the project so much that they created 2 videos of the interview, in order to give more time than 5 minutes (the limit for a single interview piece). Well done B4RN, keep it up.
