Big Chipper
One of the best “Big Chip” awards ever was the general verdict on the event last week as far as I could tell, I certainly thought so. In spite of genuine concerns about the current economic downturn most people seem to be doing OK at the moment and, either way, were determined to enjoy themselves in celebrating the achievements of the digital sector in Manchester and the North West. Terry Christian continues to do a great job as MC, having taken over from the late, great Tony Wilson last year. Shaun Fensom, as Chair of Manchester Digital, gave an inspiring speech about looking to the future beyond the current slump and I was tolerated once again in having the chance to have a bit of a rant about the need for Next Generation Broadband and how we’re going to try to start the “Fibre to the People” revolution here in Manchester. Great fun!! All the details on the Big Chip website.
