Read all about it1:
Starting in Southern England in January, a regional network operator called Telabria Wireless Networks will begin a three-month trial in which WiMAX will carry data from an Internet backbone to towns including Maidstone, Ashford, Canterbury and Folkestone. Clients may then pick up and distribute the connection with WiFi.
Telabria provide / are going to provide2 free access to libraries too. Good work!
This is my site The FG that I set up in a frenzy of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in '04. I had been a regular visitor for a while previous to that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar + voting for best venues and things, and I know it was a handy resource for those who were thinking of moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald BTW, the name comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
