Mike continued: “Good broadband is key to so many things which are critical to businesses in this day and age. For example, architects, web designers and engineers regularly need to send large files from one place to another, while video conferencing helps to ensure that colleagues, clients and contractors are only a click away, wherever they are in the world, opening up new markets.
“Likewise, the growing trend of flexible working means that many companies and individuals benefit from the ability to work remotely, while the increasing tendency to communicate via VoIP systems, rather than traditional copper wire telephone networks, shows how broadband can bring savings in bills.
“As well as company bosses, business parks and even local authorities which wish to attract high quality businesses to their areas need to be acutely aware of the requirements of commerce in the 21st Century and how their communications infrastructures meet these demands.”
