Description
How hard is it to build a network which is independent of London?
Can you take an existing network with a heavy London concentration and turn it into something more distributed? What about being regional from scratch?
What might it look like to the rest of the UK if a significant network failure were to hit London?
New regional connectivity initiatives in the UK are currently proving to be areas of significant activity, enabled by a mixture of community activity, new entrants into the colo market and a desire to deliver bandwidth more locally as volumes increase as a result of highspeed broadband rollout.
The panellists hope to discuss such questions and more.
