Hosted by Roger Metcalfe, CPF Officer RPNK, the focus group will address these questions:
1. What is your broadband coverage, speed and reliability like now, and how does it need to improve? How can broadband be designed to boost entrepreneurship?
2. British tech start-ups are vital to the UK tech industry and the economy as a whole. What more can we do to support our entrepreneurs of the future?
3. Much of the coverage of tech from government and in the media is pessimistic, and some feel that policy ideas are too limited or defensive. How can we break down barriers, and harness technology to facilitate a better society?
