FibreStream's Guy Jarvis recently told ISPreview.co.uk:

"The FibreStream approach is based on understanding that networks are about people first and technology second (though we love the geeky stuff too!). A key part of our worldview is that we support community interest or mutual ownership of the monopoly elements of Next Gen Access, that is what NextGenUs is all about - future-proofing the terms of trade in the interests of those who use, benefit from and ultimately pay for FttH.

A related focus for FibreStream is the dreaded rural NotSpot/CrapSpot - people and businesses based in rural areas have a convincing argument that they need decent connectivity more than their urban cousins, yet rural areas are badly served by 1st gen broadband (ie ADSL) today. Whether urban or rural, FibreStream seeks to build and operate FttH (including using Wi-Fi where appropriate) wherever local communities demand service in sufficient numbers to warrant the investment."
