Digital Village Pump Priming
According to the brass plaque above, the village of Ashby in Lincolnshire got its original Village Pump Utility back in 1887.
Now some 123 summers later, Ashby is getting its Digital Village Pump delivered.
What works in rural Lincolnshire can work across the country as a whole and the recent keynote speech by Jeremy Hunt MP, now the Secretary of State with responsibility for matters Notspot and Broadband, gives confidence that there is the political will to ensure the effective priming of these Digital Village Pumps, within the Austerity Imperative of ensuring best value for any penny of scarce Taxpayers Money employed.
There follows some thoughts and suggestions from the Final Third perspective as to the opportunities and pitfalls of delivering Digital Britain.
