Again, pie in the sky. The infrastructure just isn't there. Within the current exchanges we have, there just isn't the capacity.

Most office based jobs, hospitals etc rely heavily on broadband and if it slows down or malfunctions pretty much everything stops. My kids secondary schools homework rely's entirely on broadband which is quite expensive and their are bright and intelligent kids in there who's families struggle to afford broadband. Private sector has failed nationally to come up with a robust vision for providing super fast broadband and its strategy for maintenance and provision is all over the shop - private sector basically just goes begging to central government anyway. Its a very obvious and very solid proposal.

A picture of Owen Carron?

That’s a slightly different point. Both parties are saying they’ll push for fibre to everyone (I don’t think they literally mean fibre by the way, LOS systems or wide scale wireless in rural settlements might be options). This is just about ownership of OR.
Put it another way: if you needed to do it, how would you get the country online? Satellite? Blimps? It’s clearly a problem that needs solving. Is it just investment in the infrastructure and time?

Source for the credulous: Carron speaks at hunger strike event
Tory voters have to ask themselves why they have to lie so much to maintain their position.

You know this is not Corbyn don’t you?
of course you know but you pedal this shite regardless.

There's quite a lot of low blows, as opposed to actually being constructive and positive about what a Tory government would do.
Perhaps lefties should be better at the same, perhaps things like this should be reminded.

Perhaps we need more about Rees-Mogg's idea of society then, including his views on abortion.
The problem with the negative is it drags a country down. I find it very sad that people want to pull others down to their position as lowlives, rather than wanting to lift everybody up.

It’s the classic left dilemma innit? Clinton’s “they go low we go high”. We saw how that worked.
Id love to talk about Tory and BXP policy, if only they had some.

According to some... when you don’t engage in this nonsense it’s merely an example of weak leadership....

If you're a Brexit Party voter then the hypocrisy really will be off the scale here.

Throw money at it and it and I'm sure it can be done. But sitting here looking at the technical aspect of things, it would be very difficult.

I think it said in the story that some countries like South Korea and Japan has 97/98% - what did they do differently, or did they just get started longer ago?

I mean bandwidth requirements are going to keep growing regardless. It will need solving even if we don’t try and get rural communities online. 5G?

Newer equipment is part of the issue. We are paying the price for being first with a lot of infrastructure. See also rail.

You're just an obnoxious nasty piece of work.
There's nothing to be confused about when someone chooses to trivalise events like the holocaust as part of some pathetic point scoring.

I believe they said "The party aims to deliver free full-fibre broadband to all homes and businesses by 2030"?

Yeah like I say I don’t agree with all of the policy. Will be interesting to see what makes it into the manifesto.

I think what is coming in the next few years with technology and the internet isn't fully understood.
This is probably around where we are heading and going to need a sufficient system to cope with the hugely increased traffic.

Same as with the Tory policy. That’s the key word there.

I've used this example elsewhere but hooking this stuff up to 5G is going to be fascinating and yet scary at the same time until the moral element is sorted out.

We are nowhere near strong AI, like 30-40 years minimum. Still lots of improvements to be made with current tech though.

Johnson promised it in his inaugural speech as PM and was told by industry experts it wasn't possible. But we've had enough of experts remember!

I know this is your field of expertise but what you are looking at here compared to the last video is around 50 years in to the future.

Decision engines are a different beast. You won’t get to strong AI on a rules based system.
But as I say, we have so much more we could do with the technology we have right now given more data and more effort. We’re only just scratching the surface of what weak AI like neural nets can do. Definitely exciting times, just not quite ready to worry about killer robots is all

Apparently free broadband means we’re communist. What a snowflake.
