If I was a bad person I'd ask "Britain is the main bit of what?" Cos
you've two things in that sentence, the British Isles and the UK. But,
ya know, I'm not a bad person and I wouldn't want to stir further. :)

Thanks Andy - I think we’ve established my mistake now!
The official word is: Northern Ireland is not in Britain, but the British Isles
and the UK. Britain is just the main bit.
Scotland - too early to tell what it might affect. We will need our own
regulatory body (like Ofcom) and no doubt have to come to some arrangement to
‘share’ Openreach as a regulated incumbent. God knows what the ramifications
are - I’m not looking forward to having to deal with it. Hopefully we won’t
have to.

Erm... I hate to break it to you but Belfast is in Northern Ireland, which last
time I checked was not in Great Britain. It is however in the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland......
As for Scotland not being part of the UK has anybody any thoughts about whether
this will affect connectivity and Communications?
Cheers

And Belfast was utterly awesome. Anyone that didn't fancy leaving
Britain to get over there really did miss out.

We might not be able to say the same about Scotland soon :-(, but Northern
Ireland is still part of Britain.

Absolutely! I was pleased to see so many folks from south of the
border too, and the interesting Ireland-related content.
Yes, this: it was great to have such an interesting & integrated meeting
of the two isles. The ION conference added another helping of great
people, too.
And Belfast was utterly awesome. Anyone that didn't fancy leaving
Britain to get over there really did miss out. I'd like us to go back as
soon as possible, please. :)
Thanks for being such a good host as well, Dave!
