Antiquated copper networks designed to support telephone calls are responsible for consumers only getting about half the advertised broadband speed they are paying for, according to fibre to the home (FTTH) network specialists and i3 Group company, Fibrecity Holdings.



The findings of the recent Ofcom report on broadband speeds in the UK have resulted in the regulator calling for a ‘common broadband currency’. According to Fibrecity Holdings, this is only part of the solution. In order for consumers to get the services they are demanding, an infrastructure capable of delivering these super fast broadband services needs to be built.



Elfed Thomas, CEO of the i3 Group said: “The latest UK broadband speeds are simply a result of the inadequate infrastructure that exists in this country, and the market is being constrained by three or four players who are misleading the public with the terminology of fibre to the home and speed. It must be very frustrating for consumers that are demanding faster upload and download speeds as more and more bandwidth hungry applications are developed for use in both a personal and professional capacity.”



Elfed Thomas continues: “Even more frustrating is that consumers are apparently being duped into believing that they are buying faster broadband because it is being delivered over a fibre optic network when clearly it’s not.



”It is impossible for such claims to be made to the public at large, as there are only small pockets of households that currently have true fibre to the home – though this will change with rollouts such as Fibrecity networks – these are the only consumers that will be experiencing true fibre optic superfast broadband.”



The government has recently taken over the reins of facilitating a ‘broadband Britain’ which Elfed Thomas is keen to see results from. “It is imperative that the government’s plans for a broadband Britain consider what infrastructure will scale to consumer needs rather than build something that is suitable for needs right for now, but outdated before it is even finished. In my opinion, the only way to ensure guaranteed speeds for consumers is to build commercially viable, fibre to the home networks.



“The government and local councils need to support proven commercial methods such as Fibrecity networks, as this will ensure the fast delivery of super fast fibre to the home networks and introduce more competition to the existing suppliers who are stifling customer choice and misleading the public.”



Fibrecity Holdings is building the largest commercially viable fibre to the home networks across the UK without the use of the public purse. The Fibrecity network is 100Mbps symmetrical (same upload and download speeds) connections with 1 Gbps boost and more than one million homes will be connected over the next four years starting with homes in Bournemouth. The Fibrecity network is open access which means any service provider can deliver services over it. Fibrecity has recently announced a partnership with Fujitsu, who will be supporting the national delivery of the fibre optic network.

Notes to editors

The Fibrecity network concept is unique in that it utilises i3 Group patented technologies to ensure fast and low cost delivery. These technologies include the FS System which uses ready-made ducts, such as the waste water system to lay the fibre to the end of the street, and micro-trenching to connect the fibre to the home. As well as being less disruptive, the FS System enables fibre to be rolled out far quicker and costs have been benchmarked at approximately 30-50% lower per home than conventional road digs.



Opencity Media, an i3 Group company, has developed the Fibrecity gateway, an open access platform that connects service providers with customers. The Fibrecity gateway also serves as a virtual market place that offers consumer choice by allowing multiple service providers to offer and deliver services over a single Fibrecity network connection.




About i3 Group Ltd
Formed in 2002, i3 Group is a pioneer of deploying dark fibre in the UK's waste water network to enable connectivity. Known as its patented FS System, this method is a fast and cost-effective way to lay fibre optic cable and link up any location without the high costs and disruption caused by road digging.



i3 Group comprises: Fibrecity Holdings Ltd, H2O Networks Ltd, i3 International Ltd, H2O Support Services Ltd, Fibre Associates Ltd, Wireless Network Systems Ltd, i3 Asia-Pacific Pty Ltd and i3 America.

July 28 2010 - eWEEK Europe UK, www.eweekeurope.co.uk, the online publication designed for the new era of IT, has launched a new app which will allow users to access and interact with its news content across all Apple devices including the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. The first app released by a UK IT publishing house, it is already available in the iTunes store.

eWEEK’s stable of sites across France, Germany, Italy and Spain, have each launched the Gizmodo app, with France boasting well over 150,000 downloads within the first three months.

Commenting on the launch, Dominique Busso, founder and CEO of NetMediaEurope (publisher of eWEEK Europe UK), said: “We have worked hard to develop the app, and are proud to announce the fact we are the first IT publishing house to have done so.

“In a recent Gartner study, it was announced that by 2013, mobile phones will overtake PC’s as the most common Web access device worldwide . With this fact in mind, we were keen to launch an app for our users, allowing them to interact with the eWEEK Europe UK website. And, we hope that app is as successful as the one we launched in France.”

eWEEK Europe’s UK editor, Peter Judge, said: “eWEEK is all about IT sustainability and return on investment. Our readers need to stay one step ahead in order to make sound decisions with regard to their IT. We can help them be more effective by providing content in their preferred formats, easily accessible on the move.”

He added: “The iPhone hasn’t traditionally been seen as a business tool, more as a consumer item. However, it’s increasingly finding a place in companies’ IT portfolios, and as the phone of choice of IT professionals. Although iPhone apps are undoubtedly easier to develop than for some other smartphones, there is a substantial development cost, and getting the app integrated with a website can be a complex process.”

The app store can be accessed via the homepage of eWEEK Europe UK.

DDI, Stoke Poges, 28th July 2010: Global Talent Management Consultancy, Development Dimensions International Ltd (DDI), has launched its Leadership Forecast 2010/2011, the definitive study of leadership trends across the world.

The Leadership Forecast has been launched in collaboration with the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) and aims to evaluate how the economic downturn has impacted confidence in leadership and how leaders are dealing with leadership transitions.

It will also examine the best-in-class strategies for selecting, promoting and developing tomorrow’s leaders and compare information from other countries. In addition, it aims to examine the relationship between leadership practices and company performance.

This will be the sixth Leadership Forecast, spanning twelve years and since the last report, the world economy has seen turbulent times. Steve Newhall, managing director of DDI UK comments: “In our last survey, we saw how far leadership development efforts had closed the gap between expectation and reality and we saw what, in the mind of leaders themselves, was working and what wasn’t. That study was conducted right before the economic crisis hit and it will be fascinating to see how it has affected leadership in the UK and around the world. Leaders have been through challenging times, many are operating in a completely new reality and will have had to adjust to totally different organisational priorities. To see how the global recession has affected learning and development strategies for our leadership teams will be immensely valuable.”

HR professionals and senior managers are invited to complete the survey at www.ddiworld.com/leadershipforecast. Organisations that can encourage 30 non-HR leaders to participate will receive a free customised company report comparing their organisation’s data to local and global norms.

July 23 2010 - Three years after the launch of the first iPhone, the advent of “mobile connectivity” is profoundly shaking up the way consumers shop, according to new research from PriceGrabber.co.uk®. Not just online, but in stores too, as a growing army of ‘smart shoppers’ are arriving in stores equipped with Internet enabled Smartphones.

Whilst these devices might be small, they still have the capacity to spend big - with the research finding that 20 percent of shoppers who make purchases from their mobiles have spent more than £100 on mobile phone shopping sprees in the last three months.

Of the 908 online shoppers that were asked about their mobile shopping habits, 66 percent owned a Smartphone or another Web-enabled phone. Of the consumers who shop from their mobile, nearly half (48 percent) claim that the convenience of having the Internet with them wherever they go is their number one reason for smart shopping.

PriceGrabber.co.uk’s research found that of the consumers that own a Web-enabled mobile phone…
• 24 percent compare or check prices from their mobile phone
• 22 percent research product details and specifications from their mobile phone
• 16 percent purchase online from their mobile phone
• 9 percent check product availability
• 5 percent access online discount vouchers

When it comes to most popular mobile purchases, research revealed that of the consumers who purchase online from their mobile phone…
• 59 percent purchase digital content for mobiles (ringtones, Apps and music/video clips)
• 52 percent purchase consumer electronics, such as GPS, MP3 players and digital cameras
• 45 percent purchase computers, laptops and peripherals
• 45 percent purchase books
• 33 percent purchase clothing

“Smart shopping is one of the most exciting developments in retail – as it enables customers to literally take the Internet into the store with them,” commented Justin Sedgmond, business director at PriceGrabber.co.uk (www.pricegrabber.co.uk). “Shoppers now use multiple channels to engage with retailers. The winning retailers will be those that have put themselves in a position to respond appropriately to consumers on every platform they wish to engage.”

16 July 2010: Start-ups are the life blood of today’s new economies and will play a major role in keeping the UK out of recession, was the message from Dr Hermann Hauser, partner and co-founder of Amadeus Partners, in his keynote session at the ‘Show us the Money’ conference at the Møller Centre in Cambridge on 13th July 2010. The event marked the launch of Discovering Start-Ups 2010, a competition and initiative organised by the Cambridge Wireless network and supported by the East of England Development Agency (EEDA), to find the very best new wireless technologies and future business tycoons.

“The ability to exploit leading-edge UK technology research is more important than ever,” said Hermann Hauser. “In addition to private investment and support, the Government needs to show its commitment to a national strategy with sustained funding.” In a recent report, Dr Hauser called for a network of elite Technology Innovation Centres to nurture new hi-tech start-ups.

Speakers at the ‘Show us the Money’ conference offered expert practical advice on starting a business and seeking early stage funding. Jack Lang, a serial entrepreneur and business angel, advised delegates to think carefully about the customers for their technologies, saying that, “the market need is the biggest risk factor."

Alan Barrell, an entrepreneur in residence from Cambridge University’s Judge Business School, provided an insight into what to look for when seeking angel partners: “Angel Investors have become the primary supporters of early stage technology businesses, investing in the region of 8 billion Euros last year in the UK,” said Barrell. “But as well as money, the right angel investors also offer experience, wisdom, customer introductions, network connections, channels to future money and pathways to exits.”

Other speakers included Jamie Urquhart, venture partner at Pond Venture Partners Ltd., and a Co-Founder of ARM; Ray Anderson, CEO of Bango; Matt Meyer, chief executive of Taylor Vinters; and Matthew Mead, managing director with NESTA Investments.

“It is great to see support for start-ups that is focused on building successful businesses,” said Jamie Urquhart. “Too many companies fixate on the technology when they should be putting that energy into working out how to understand the needs of their customers and building relationships with them.”

Matt Meyer of Taylor Vinters questioned whether the banks were changing their positions in the entrepreneurial market: “We are told that banks are not releasing money to support small business; yet they still offer a viable alternative to equity funding for some start-ups with the right team and a positive approach to the banking relationship. The question for me is, are start-ups prepared to play by the rules that the banks now set?”

The Discovering Start-Ups competition runs across five categories: cognitive and/or green radio, hot applications and services, wireless health and wellness innovations, technology design in wireless, and emerging disruptive ideas. The closing date for entries is 29 October and in addition to cash prizes and business services for the winners, all finalists will get a chance to pitch to leading industry figures and investors on 9 December in Cambridge.

Alongside the competition, Cambridge Wireless is delivering a series of ‘workshops’ to help technology-focused start-ups to address common issues when establishing and growing their businesses. The competition and masterclasses are open to businesses in the East of England and members of Cambridge Wireless from across the UK. For more information, visit: www.cambridgewireless.co.uk/discoveringstartups.

“The East of England is known for its cutting-edge research and innovation and its latest generation of technology entrepreneurs will play a vital role in helping to drive the economy out of recession,” said Dr Paul May, executive director of EEDA. “It is important to give these early-stage businesses all the support, encouragement and funding they need to accelerate their growth and success. Discovering Start-Ups is an ideal way to do this.”
