The government has finally named all six companies chosen to supply hi-speed broadband services, equipment and consultancy etc. to the public sector:
BT, Easynet, Fujitsu, Kingston, Synetrix and Telewest have all been selected by the Government's procurement outfit, the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), as part of its Broadband Solutions Framework Agreement.
In essence, the "framework agreement" has been set up to help public sector bodies jump on the broadband bandwagon by using companies already vetted by the OGC.It's hoped that this approach will speed up the process of enabling public services with broadband access and applications. More @
