Cornered! is a blog devoted, most of the time anyway, to telecommunications: local and global issues, technology, people and trends from the perspective of someone who's been reporting, analysing and commenting on the industry since the dark ages (BC - before competition). Sometimes serious, sometimes flippant, sometimes frivolous. Controversial, analytical, informative, amusing, but never boring; a vehicle for examinations of important issues and observations on my encounters and experiences in an industry where polarised views and hyperbole are the norm.

Page 2 of 2 The objectives of the report are threefold: to raise awareness of the issues related to the deployment of next generation access networks with government, the regulator and industry; to provoke discussion and inform policy development; to suggest a number actions that can move this debate onto the next stage.

BSG membership is open to "any organisation with a commercial interest in broadband and related service...[including]... broadband service providers; broadband product suppliers and manufacturers; content developers, content aggregators; broadcasters; rights holders; advertisers; central government departments; local government; representatives from Devolved Administrations and RDAs; consumers and consumer representatives; trade unions and trade associations. It has almost 400 members, spanning all these sectors so its views are unlikely to represent narrow sectoral interests. In his foreword to the report, BSG chairman, Chip Meek, concludes: "This is the start of a new phase of debate and action on this subject, which is of great importance to UK consumers and businesses, as well as the UK's position in the world economy." The UK environment is different from Australia and not all the conclusions and recommendations of the report may be applicable her. That statement certainly is. The sad fact is that there is no equivalent body to the BSG with the resources, representation or the will to produce an equivalent examination of these issues for Australia. {moscomment} |
