BT & The £80m Wireless ISP Project
Posted: 16th Apr, 2003 By: MarkJ
It's reported that BT has expressed some interest in an £80 Million broadband project, which is designed to bring wireless Internet access to the South-West of England.
However, BT has now chosen to play down such suggestions, although that doesn't mean they won't be involved:
Reports last week claimed that BT, Intel and Radiant Networks are close to teaming up with six county councils to create the £80m network, which would use fixed wireless and Wi-Fi to bring broadband to areas where affordable high-speed Internet services are not currently available.
BT isn't ruling out involvement in such a scheme in the future, but the telco said on Monday that it believed the project was a long way from actually being implemented.
"It sounds very interesting, but we've not seen any detailed proposals so far," a BT spokesman told ZDNet UK, adding that BT would like to see more information if it became available.
If it does go ahead then they'll have to move fast because broadband ADSL services are starting to spread at an ever increasing pace. More @ ZDNet.
