From The Register | DSL cartographers map Scotland
Business ISP edNET has launched a new Web site so that it can map broadband demand in Scotland.
If those behind broadbandscotland.net can prove there is sufficient demand in areas currently not served by high-speed Internet access, then they will either press BT to enable the exchange or unbundle it themselves.
Those of you, like me, that may live in sparsely populated areas of Scotland with little prospect of BT installing ASDL might want to make your demand known. It only takes a couple of minutes at broadbandscotland.net:
Until now, there has been no way for Internet users in Scotland to let any ISP other than BT Openworld know that there is demand for broadband access in their area. The aim is for us to build up a comprehensive map of demand in Scotland, and actually deliver high quality broadband Internet access in areas where demand justifies it. Unlike some larger ISPs, we can create cost justification on volumes of less than 100 subscribers, meaning we can get it to you faster and better than any other ISP. Just the way the Internet should be!
