21CN broadband launches but businesses still face wait for fast broadband

Journalist John Paul Kamath reports on BT's eminent launch of its 24Mbit broadband service over its 21st century network (21CN) but small businesses will have to wait before they see a reduction in cost for high-speed connections. Rupert Wood from Analysys Mason tells ComputerWeekly that the reality is that only a proportion of businesses will get the higher speeds they are promised under ADLS2+. This limits the number of customers an ISP could reach with faster broadband and could dissuade it from offering the service. "In the past, when BT has offered a new wholesale product, different ISPs have taken up packages at different times and this could be the case with BT's ADSL2+ service".
