    • Northern Ireland Broadband Service Contract

    WesternConnect is currently working with the Department of Enterprise Trade and Investment in the delivery of a multi million €uro monitoring and evaluation contract. As part of this contract WesternConnect has devised and implemented a series of monitoring and evaluation tools to monitor the progress of BT in the rollout of broadband technologies throughout Northern Ireland. The processes and techniques devised by WesternConnect has allowed for a confidential monitoring and evaluation service to be offered to UK government and allowed for the transparent rollout of broadband throughout Northern Ireland.

    This contract has called upon the extensive expertise of the WesternConnect team in terms of preparing SLAs, performance and project contracts, monitoring, negotiating and regulatory affairs with network operators.

    The Western Isles Council and Western Isles Enterprise, with funding from LEADER+, have commissioned WesternConnect Ltd to carry out a study into the development of community-based Broadband Television in the Outer Hebrides.

    The study will look at the support for establishing a Broadband TV service, the costs involved in setting up and running a service, who should be involved and the potential business model for its establishment and operations. Western Connect will also be looking at how Broadband Television has been developed in other areas, particularly those with a strong voluntary and community emphasis and a focus on service delivery.

    The study will look at:

    • Level of demand for the service.
    • Opportunities for voluntary involvement, training and skills development.
    • Key areas where services could be delivered through Broadband TV.
    • Resource requirements for the initial development and long term sustainability of the service.
    • Areas of potential revenue income and funding opportunities.
    • An overview of the technical requirements for setting up and operating the service.
    • Potential management and operational structures.
