We were at #ConnectedBritain last week talking to local authorities and industry about all things connectivity, including how we can accelerate the UK’s fibre rollout, our position as the UK’s biggest fibre challenger and the vital work underway to connect the digitally excluded.

Our Chief Sustainability Officer, @Dana Haidan, spoke at #ConnectedNorth on Monday on bridging the #DigitalDivide for Northern communities - and the onus on Virgin Media O2 as a leading UK telco to help address issues of affordability, digital skills and confidence.

There was a broad consensus across the panelists around the challenges facing the UK in bridging the #DigitalDivide - including the need for government to work closer with the industry - and third sector partners to tackle digital exclusion.
