Broadband End Game cancelled

Document Actions
The Broadband End Game conference on Tuesday 22nd November has had to be cancelled and all ticket sales will be refunded.

“We just haven’t been able to compete with the publicly subsidised ‘Summit’ event the day before our End Game Conference” says Lindsey Annison, co-founder of ABC.  “The ‘Job’s Not Done’ message is obviously not what government and industry want to hear” she adds.

"Fat pipes, fibre and connected homes with innovators in bedrooms do not suit the political or corporate shareholders' agenda at this time when so many believe that a basic 512kbps or 1Mbps service is going to meet the future needs of our economy," said Annison. "This country and some others in the EU with incumbent 'copper' telcos risk playing broadband second fiddle for years to come. We are ignoring the economic threats in the new industrial revolution that is the knowledge economy.”

ABC thanks all of its supporters for the enthusiastic response to the Ebay sale of Peter Cochrane, and to the speakers. It is the intention to make much of the content proposed for the conference available online over the coming months. We hope that the available internet connections will allow participants to enjoy the online material and that the quality or performance is not impaired by the lack of bandwidth prevalent in the UK.
