Posted by Mrs Sam Easton ""Our announcement today creates great opportunities to extend the regional and local partnership models already demonstrated to such effect in Cornwall, Caerphilly and in our ground breaking approach with THUS and Highlands and Islands Enterprise. Government plans to aggregate public sector demand in rural areas and as a major purchaser of broadband for schools, hospitals and all public services, will play a key role. "Setting triggers does not by itself deliver broadband, and we should all be impatient to speed the process up. Partnerships will do this and ensure that the UK leads the world's large economies in becoming 100% broadband-enabled with rapid take-up of broadband by citizens and business." Note to editors: Demand registration triggers for the 2,300 exchanges have been set by estimating the total cost of rollout to these exchanges and applying a weighted average cost linked to the number of lines connected to the individual exchange to calculate the trigger levels."" To date we have 204 registrations. If you have not already registered please, please help us to reach the target figure by picking up a registration form at Toft Hill, Etherley or West Auckland Post Offices, complete it and leave for me to collect. Alternatively you can register yourself by visiting Registration is absolutely free and places you under no obligation, it is merely an expression of interest.
