[Cumbria] Rural Broadband...

[Gleaston Water Mill]

I would have thought with the population size and 500 businesses they should
not have a problem hitting the BT threshold. My exchange has less then 1000
subscribers, so I have been looking at bringing in satellite (up and down)
and using WiFi to distribute locally to the village. The wireless side is
fine, however the satellite costs I have found so far are prohibitive for
the interest level I can raise in the local community.

Seeing as most of use live in rural areas (i.e. Cumbria) and have no access
to broadband (Roger and Mat excepted. Gits.), and would probably like it,
this may be of interest...

Basically, they are trying to bring broadband to their community by getting
a nice big pipe and sharing it via WiFi to cover an area that has 10,000
potential users, and is home to at least 500 businesses and 10 schools.

Hope they are succesful...
