Talk:National Grid for Learning

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page suffers badly from a confusion and poor usage in the original project between the National Grid for Learning project on which the article is fairly accurate and the NGfL website on which it is also correct, but it then confuses the two. Usage in the article is inconsistent between the two. In its broader original sense of a national project to exploit the new communications technologies with earmarked (hypothecated for non-English speakers) funds conditional upon a school internet connection, the NGfL initiative is still with us and there remains a related programme of subsequent earmarked funding for the period 2008-11. The web site may have been closed, the logo dropped and the usage abandoned, but the basic initiative, albeit re-branded, is still with us.

See my article on Regional Broadband Consortia Regional Broadband Consortium for an explanation of why the usage survives in some regions. NGfL funds required the creation of RBCs, funding was conditional upon it!Steve H (talk) 22:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
