UK companies 'want action over high-performance broadband'
A large number of British businesses believe the UK must move quickly to update its telecommunications infrastructure, a new survey has revealed.
Research from the Communications Management Association (CMA) found that 95 per cent of companies feel the UK needs to act now to implement a high-performance broadband network that will give it the edge over other economies.
According to the survey, 94 per cent of British firms think that a super-fast telecoms network is required in every part of the country if the UK is to compete in global markets.
"This shows the urgency with which the measures proposed by the recent interim Digital Britain report are needed," commented CMA chief executive Glenn Powell.
"We welcome the measures proposed in Lord Stephen Carter's report which we believe, if implemented, will enable British companies to remain competitive in the current tough economic climate."
Published by communications minister Lord Carter last month, the interim Digital Britain report states that every business and home in the UK should have access to a broadband connection by 2012, using a mixture of wired and wireless networks.
