Definition of high-speed broadband 'should be changed'The way that high-speed broadband services are defined should be amended, according to an expert. Changes should be made to how high-speed internet platforms like fibre optic cable broadband are defined, an expert has claimed.
A spokesperson for the Internet Service Providers' Association (ISPA) has suggested that next-generation access should be measured in terms of how services are delivered, as well as the speeds available.
The organisation has also revealed that the government should be encouraging investment in high-speed broadband in order to create a competitive market.
"In the small minority of areas where the market may not deliver, the ISPA would welcome government efforts to ensure that no one is digitally excluded," the source explained.
He added that the body rates getting access to public services as a key aspect of universal broadband.
The ISPA is the UK's trade association for providers of broadband services and represents the industry in discussions with government bodies.
It was originally established in 1995 and promotes self-regulation in the industry. |
