Its become an almost daily event recently to wake up and find another blog entry taking a snipe at the work being done by myself and some of the people I work with. Until now I’d taken a view that I’d prefer to just get on with things but the regularity and persistence of the two bloggers justifies a response.
Finding ways to deliver next generation broadband to UK homes and businesses is hard and it needs the widest possible support and interaction. That means people who haven’t been natural parters in the past are now actively seeking ways to work together to find uncommon solutions to a common problem.
The constant sniping and rumour mongering by what is increasingly being seen as a militant fringe is unhelpful and is more likely to set back the UK’s chances of seeing widespread investment in next generation broadband services. So long as the voice of communities is seen as a negative attack on others rather than a positive move to find solutions then why would anyone take community broadband seriously?
Ghandi once said something along the lines of ”be the change you want to see in the world” – prove me and my colleagues wrong by doing something better through positive action but please stop the sniping.
