Wi-Fi Proposed as Remedy to the UK Digital Divide

June 3, 2009 - PRLog -- According to the research conducted by a popular website dedicated to the broadband sector of the United Kingdom, one of the most viable solutions to bridge the Digital Divide catastrophe is the inexpensive Wi-Fi broadband networks based on communities. If the studies carried out by the website has come up with a plausible theory then it is going to be a bright future for not only the Wi-Fi technology, but also the universal broadband plans of the government itself.

This revelation is all the more significant in the present circumstances as the government has been under tremendous pressure to deliver on its promise of a 2Mbps broadband connection to every household in the country. The realization of the plan through the cable broadband providers had virtually come to an impasse as the networks had put up their practical inability to provide satisfactory broadband speeds to many rural communities. That made the government to turn to the mobile broadband providers that too turned out a no such thing due to the 900 MHz spectrum dispute.

This had finally prompted the government to resort to the satellite broadband that is nowhere near to an economical solution. It is in this circumstance that the new proposal of a solution that community based Wi-Fi schemes, financed by local councils could effectively help in providing the rural communities otherwise unreachable, a broadband connection of 2Mbps speed has come forth into the limelight.

The researchers put forth the name of London borough of Islington as a significant example for the validity of the concept. The comments of Andrew Barker, the Islington council’s project manager that the engagement of Tech Mile, as it was known widely, to provide the residents of the area with free internet access was a huge success for the council of Islington is worth pondering over in the circumstances.
