Contractors and freelancers working from remote locations need better broadband access. That’s the advice from one expert. Madeline Bennett, editor at V3.co.uk says “It is important to find some funding in the long-term for rural access, but I’d say only if there is a genuine business case for it”. Ms Bennett also recommended urban areas have comprehensive coverage for all web users. Poor broadband access can have a detrimental effect on the business of freelancers and contractors working from home. One village in Rutland, however, has taken matters into its own hands this week. Having seen the big telecoms companies refuse to provide a fibre optic connection, the people of the village of Lyddington have joined together to build their own cable network. If you want advice on using broadband to enhance your business, the team at Excellium Umbrella is happy to help.

It uses optic fibre cables, made up of glass and plastic, which allows data to move much faster along them than the copper pipes used by the broadband that you may have now.

For service providers there is a delicate balance between driving more cost reduction while planning for cost effective increase in capacity into the future, avoiding frequent network renewal. Mr. Morin will discuss the variances in global operator trends and provide an outlook on the innovations that are necessary for economic scaling of optical networks.
