We have passed the target number of households who want a true broadband connection. Company and share launch is 15th December.

We passed the target! B4RN has a green light to proceed. Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support. Now is this community’s chance to prove what can be done to provide Gigabit FTTH (hyperfast Internet) to even the most rural and remote communities.

The invites have gone out to the launch event on December 15th at The Storey, Lancaster at 2pm. The spaces are already filling up, fast, so if you have not had an invite or know someone who has been left out, please get in touch ASAP. Space is limited.

The Management Committee has moved into overdrive to take the project forwards, and we hope to see you at the Launch event when much more information will be provided to potential investors, homes, business and public sector premises in the B4RN footprint.

All details of the shares offer will be online from 15th December. The project now needs everyone to complete the share application forms and/or registration for subscriptions so we can begin the build from early 2012 with the community investment.

It is not all about buying shares. If you have not already done so, you can just sign up for a subscription too if you live in our project area. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. (Should we make a short video that explains all the options? Let us know).
