The year 2000 was an important year for the UK broadband market. Way back then business users with high-speed connections to the Internet were using leased lines that were dedicated and expensive.

Broadband did exist and had done since the late nineties but for the small business or home user it was a case of geographical location that decided the speed of your connection. Cable operators were providing a broad... more...

It's no understatement to say that VOIP has completely transormed the telecom world. Nothing is the same as it was even a mere decade ago, and that's because VOIP has become the killer app of broadband that technologists predicted.

As the... more...
