Helping the High Hanging Fruit

Inspired by 5ttH and Lord Kelvin’s maxim (supposedly:

Can ye make a model of it?

If ye can, ye understands it,

and if ye canna, ye dinna!

Once the Low Hanging Fruit are proverbially picked, what then of the remainder?

The High Hanging Fruit?

A statistically significant sample of the Final Third (quarter, fifth, tenth?) would be good…

The three Theoretical Exercises currently being open source supplied by some of the Industry Day attendees to BDUK and in between each other cover areas that are each and all challenging – high hanging fruit

Consider this:

1000 logging routers to capture SamKnows info across each of the 3 localities – do this for a month, for 90 days and onwards.

Result:

Instead of theoretical mapping exercises, invest in actual rural customer broadband performance data by lending out 1000ish logging routers to capture standardised SamKnows datasets across each of the 3 localities

- do this for a month, for 90 days and onwards…

Then use that growing body real-world evidence to inform future practical improvements to broadband service delivery.

Our friends at DABS will do 1000 of WRT54GL routers for
Delivery (764.000kg) £273.54
Total (inc VAT) £45,945.79

Exceptional value for Taxpayers Money – For, say, for an outlay of less than £50k the result is a detailed and valid analysis of the high hanging fruit,

In the very garden of Eden even… ?

Now that would be a huge value add for Rory Stewart’s Rural Broadband Conference – 10 routers per Parish perhaps?
