Connecting to the internet is becoming more and more important. With businesses adopting cloud computing and more demand for internet access on the go, what’s the future? Broadband, Wi-Fi, mobile internet, fibre optic lines, cable? Taiwan, Korea and Japan are miles ahead, is UK embarrassingly behind? Businesses will benefit from superior internet, eBay has recently been quoted as asking for better connectivity to increase sales through their mobile app. Maybe things are looking up, with BT and Everything Everywhere trialling 4G and Virgin testing the ‘world’s best cable’. What’s in store for the UK

• What’s the future?
• Should 3G be improved before we even consider 4G?
• Should the government be doing more to improve the UK’s connectivity?
• If not, who should be?
• Is it really that bad?
• Would it help the economy if the UK had better connectivity?
