| The Broadband Stakeholder Group (BSG) is delighted to host, in partnership with the Ofcom Consumer Panel, its 2008 conference, 'Beyond Pipe Dreams? Prospects for Next Generation Broadband in the UK.' |
| |
| In April 2007, the BSG argued that the UK had two years to create an environment to enable investment in next generation broadband. This conference will take stock of progress made to date and address key challenges that lie ahead. It will also provide a unique opportunity to input to the government's independent review on next generation broadband, being led by Francesco Caio. |
