@ Eric,
EDITIt is one thing asking a determined rural population
(and already know how to mole-plough land drains), who have largely been ignored, to willingly provide free wayleaves to a Community Interest Company, and quite another to force the incumbent with an ageing infrastructure to do likewise in urban areas. A sparse area will also not require the capacity that urban areas do.
Nevertheless the B4RN project provides a vital demonstration to the likes of BDUK which is why I am a strong supporter.
I hope others will do so too.
Perhaps then we might replicate the design even in sunny Surrey !
Once sufficient rural areas have vastly superior services everybody might wake up to the possibility of FTTH particularly where Virgin Media have ducting to almost every house already.
