News Release

19th July 2005

BROADBAND DELAYED IN FRADLEY

Advantage West Midlands have contacted Michael Fabricant to say that the introduction of broadband in Fradley has been delayed and is now not likely to take place until at least November 2005 and possibly as late as June 2006. The delay has been caused by the European Union which insists that contracts for the supply of equipment and cabling must be put out to European tender - a lengthy process.

"This delay will disappoint many people in Fradley" says Michael Fabricant. "I will continue to put pressure on Advantage West Midlands to ensure that no further delays are incurred. In the meantime some businesses can apply for a RABBIT grant which can be used to fund alternative methods of broadband connection including wireless and satellite platforms. Anyone interested in pursuing this option should check out their website at www.rabbit-broadband.org.uk or telephone 01564 71 1912." Michael adds.
