2017 NextGen Digital Challenge Awards Sees Win for B4RN and Diva Telecom

Wednesday, Oct 25th, 2017 (8:41 am) - Score 561

The annual NextGen Digital Challenge Awards were held last night in London, which saw rural FTTH ISP B4RN win the ‘Place Making Award‘ for their efforts in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Meanwhile Diva Telecom scooped the ‘Connected Britain Award‘ for their Eltofts village project.

The NextGen Awards tend to celebrate successful digital projects and applications, which can involve anything from broadband infrastructure to the development of Digital Skills or other related fields. The details of who won what and why aren’t always very clear, although B4RN needs no introduction for their long standing efforts and Diva’s award related to their Cityfibre linked FTTP deployment to the rural community of Eltofts (here).
