New Group To Boost Rural Broadband

Posted: 30th Apr, 2003 By: MarkJ
ABC (Access to Broadband Campaign) is the latest broadband Internet access campaign group to appear, yet unlike others, it has already been officially endorsed by the Broadband Stakeholder Group (BSG).

The group is being set-up by rural broadband pioneers and Internet campaigners, which includes Erol Ziya and Charlie from the Campaign for Unmetered Telecommunications (CUT):

Called ABC, the group aims to boost the rollout of broadband in remote and rural areas and has a particular focus on wireless.

One of ABC's founders is Lindsey Annison, who is a driving force behind Edenfaster -- a community wireless broadband network being created in Cumbria.

Annison explained on Tuesday that the group was being created to help the many thousands of people who are desperate for broadband, adding that since Edenfaster began receiving publicity she had received literally thousands of emails from individuals looking for help and advice.


Sadly we've been unable to find its official website and ZDNet's item makes no mention of this either, however a quick Internet search did turn up an unused forum for ABC here (Mr Ziya is the only one present - it may not be public yet.. well it is now =]):
