Broadband Access Strategies was formed in 2001. The founders had previously worked together in a VC funded high tech start up in the broadband wireless arena. They recognised that broadband and its capabilities was not well understood and set about influencing the public and private sectors to join the wider broadband debate.

This drive for knowledge and understanding has continued. As the issues of access, demographics, economic & business modelling and technology have migrated, so has the partnership. We are now researching the drivers and uses that propel next generation access take-up and use, the underlying issues for ICT adoption and the increasing desire by people to use these new technologies to improve their lives, e.g. flexible and remote working.

With the addition of Mike Knuckey joining the co-founders, an industry expert in core telecommunication networks, software design and ICT support functions, has enabled the partnership to increase its core competencies to meet its clients' needs.

Broadband Access Strategies also works with a number of trusted associates . The exact mix of partners and associates depends on the skills and experience required for each project we undertake for our clients. Please click on a link below for more information on each of our associates
