Things that need to be said
● Fast broadband is more important in rural communities than in urban ones
● Communities and small local businesses can build distribution at a fraction of the cost of centralised organisation
● Reliability is tantamount ● We don't need help on how to use the internet● We don't need more surveys for demand● We do need fast, cheap backhaul
