The February issue of Insider explores the issue of next generation broadband across the North West and the key development sites coming on stream. Kate Simpson looks at the future of fibre optic networks in the region and Neil Tague interviews Sue Woodward, the director of the Sharp Project. There is also an interview with US telecoms entrepreneur David McCourt, who is taking on the world of satellite broadband from a base in Accrington; and a report on Insider’s digital breakfast in Manchester, which drew a record turnout. Further highlights include our Deals of the Year review for 2009 and a report on the region’s automotive sector.
