In these strange times of this lock-down under the COVID-19 epidemic we have seen how Video Conferencing has taken off. There have been some inventive uses particular a product called ZOOM which has been pulled from the unknown into the mainstream use. Other companies are slowly catching up with some business only software being made available to everyone for a limited period.
Now that we can see what can be done, there is even talk of people working more from home in the future.
What can we take away from all this? While watching a Boogie Bounce session on Zoom and catching up with family over Skype, one thing sticks in my mind... "How cr*p some peoples broadband really is!" I have seen a better picture from someone on the other side of the world then from someone about nineteen miles away in the same county of Norfolk. If working from home is going to be 'the new norm' then something has got to be done about bringing broadband up to a level playing field.
