The UK broadband minister, Stephen Timms has been moved on to the Department
of Work and Pensions.
He will be replaced by Baroness Shriti Vadera who will take over his role
immediately. Mr Timms has been quite active in meeting those within the industry
as the UK tries not to fall behind in race to provide the next gereration of
high speed networks.
Neil Berkett, acting CEO of Virgin Media said the government's current
"hands-off" approach to regulating investment in broadband was the right one and
warned that interfering would only hamper the industry, "Regulation is
neither necessary nor recommended. It would disincentivise companies from
investing in networks,"
