MS3 Communications, which is currently working to build an independent superfast fibre optic broadband network in Hull UK (Yorkshire), has moved its project a big step closer to completion after an agreement with the Humber Bridge Board was signed that will allow their cables to be laid through the bridge.

The platform, which will be completely independent of the dominant local telecoms firm ( KC ), is estimated to cost £12 million in the first year and is on target to reach businesses in Hessle, West Hull and Hull City Centre during Q1 of 2012.



The final network will stretch 116km of fibre optic cable around hull and allow ISPs to offer services without having to go through KC. However KC is not standing still and has been rolling out a fibre optic network of its own, which unlike MS3 will also benefit home users. Competition is good.
