Why don't BT just provide us with broadband in the first place?North Yorkshire is England's largest rural county with a population of just under 600,000 spread out over roughly 3,000 square miles. The landscape is predominantly small distinct market towns with significant distance between them, comprising outlying properties, farms and agricultural land. This The geography and population distribution of North Yorkshire are the principal reasons as to why private sector organisations, like BT, are not implementing the infrastructure required to provide quality broadband across the whole of North Yorkshire. The low number of connections per kilometre makes developing the infrastructure commercially unattractive. As a consequence the county is a low business priority. |
