Researchers at Brunel University have developed a new tool designed to highlight both the economic and speed benefits of upgrading to a broadband connection:
The software tool is aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who still use a narrowband connection, and those who have no Internet access at all. It will run on the desktop, and flag up occasions when business processes would be cheaper, faster or more efficient over broadband.
By illustrating the business benefits of a high-speed connection, Brunel hopes to persuade more firms to upgrade to ADSL, cable, wireless or satellite broadband.Hopefully the new software will help dispel fears that broadband is just another means of burning a hole in business profits. The reality tends to suggest otherwise. More @
