We have been notified today that B4RN has been selected as a finalist in The ISPAs – the UK Internet industry awards, under the “Internet Hero” category. The ISPA Council will review the list of nominations and choose the winners which will be announced on July 3 at the Park Lane Sheraton Hotel.
Whether B4RN wins or not, it is a sign that the industry is recognising the steps we are taking to ensure rural areas can stay ahead in the digital world. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Well done all of you for getting thus far.
I hope the publicity gives you the opportunity to attract more UK investors.
Perhaps BDUK and LCC could review the benefits of providing investment in the form of “Soft Loans without draconian regulation**” to your types of organisation too ?

Good Luck at the #ISPA awards tonight. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
B4RN is a massively important community broadband project and worthy of recognition by the internet industry. Good Luck tonight at The ISPA Awards 2012.
