The FT is reporting that Altnets are having some trouble competing with #OpenReach & in some cases are cutting back development or merging (consolidation);

however, other than mentioning one Altnet that has 'community' in its name, the analysis misses the utilisation of community effort to bring #broadband to 'uneconomic' areas;

#B4RN (our local community project) has much higher % take-up than the altnets, not least due to its business model.

FT needs to be a little less myopic on broadband!
