UK and Peru? Are you joking ? ;)
I didn’t mention Peru, but pick any of 20 other European countries to compare with the UK, where Google’s penetration stats are higher than here. While there are obviously different circumstances in different countries, there are 20 countries in Europe progressing with visible residential rollout faster than the UK. >> The good forums/lists to be on are the ones that are discussing how to do >> it, or how they’ve done it.

I agree, and that’s not what the UK Council will do. Rather, the aim is to make it more like - for example - the Swiss and Belgian Councils, which are more about sharing experiences from those planning and doing, in countries where residential and commercial offerings are appearing. It’s good to see BT participating in it. > Also I see IPV6 frustrating users where its been rolled out before it was > ready which is something that's very bad. Is that another dig at Comcast? ;) There are certainly still emerging issues such as the recent ones seen with IPv6 and gmail. But seriously I think sharing bad experience/lessons is as important as sharing good ones, if companies (whether access or content providers) are prepared to be open with such info. Tim
