Gateshead Technology Innovations (G-ti) plans to use its high-speed 100Mbps next-gen fibre optic broadband network to help hook-up a new Brownfield housing development, which was formerly used as a Freightliner depot for Gateshead town centre:


The G-ti service was formed last year as part of a public-private partnership between Alcatel-Lucent Telecoms and the Gateshead Council. The project was created to develop a high-capacity open access network for serving the Baltic Business Quarter.

It's noted on G-ti's site that the annual rental pricing for a managed 100Mbps (business grad) Wholesale Local Access Service link is £1,988.00 (£165.66 per month), which could be shared (contention) between several residents to make it affordable.
