The Managing Director of UK ISP
Vispa Internet, James Ormerod, has hinted that the provider is in talks with several urban/city centre councils with regards to providing wireless broadband on a grand scale.
Vispa, a small Cheshire based company, will soon be ten years old and was recently nominated in a shortlist for the
ISPA's
Best Consumer ISP award. The ISP hasn't said much about its plans but offered the following quote:
VISPA is in talks with several urban/city centre councils with regards to providing wireless broadband on a grand scale, i.e. people able to subscribe to ultra fast broadband in the comfort of their homes without ever going near a telephone point.
This is part of our continuing efforts to make technology and the internet more readily accessible to everyone, because we are a smaller operation we are uniquely able to utilise our resources in the development of relevant local technologies and make considerable improvements in our local area.
Like many other providers,
Vispa has also spoken of its intention to introduce up to 24Mbps ADSL2+ services later in the year.
