What is worth noting is the rising tide of interest in and support from Public Sector for NGA initiatives.

The write to reply commenting mechanism is a powerful and accessible feedback tool, whether the Official Report reflects the content actually fed back or otherwise.

This is one example of how the subject matter itself enables | facilitates | makes doable wider community-of-interest inclusion and participation

- another is the Fake Report wiki http://wiki.writetoreply.org/wiki/The_Fake_Digital_Britain_Report

Perhaps FAKE is an acronym…. how about Fibre Access Knowledge Economy?

and again emerging apparently out of nowhere we have the Unconference phenomenon

SomeRandomNerd on paragraph 41:

When I pay my ISP for a 10 megabit per second, uncapped connection to the internet, I expect to get a 10 megabit per second connection to the internet.

GuyJ on paragraph 41:

£5 per month per Mbps IP peering is sustainable given sufficient scale economy plus £5 per month to maintain the first mile FttH infrastructure, the next gen access network element plus £5 per month for reinvestment and network growth eg.)

Example – £(5+5+5) = £15 per month plus VAT = £17.25 per month per home

Provides 1Mbps CIR (Committed Information Rate) which is then aggregated and cross contended up to 100Mbps within a 100 home cloud

The current price problem is middle-mile transit – linking global and local together, the outlook is positive as competition develops and DWDM (Dense Wave Division Multiplexing aka Rainbow of wavelengths through a single fibre) provides 100x Layer 1 efficiency gain.

Go for gigabit for 2012 <- now there’s a NextGenUs aspiration…
