    A high-level advisory committee has recommended that the Government fund the development of broadband technology here. The cable-based technology allows large amounts of data to be delivered at high speeds. The Advisory Committee on Information and Communications Technology suggested a rolling fund be available to get broadband into homes & small businesses The committee also recommended that educational and Research & Development institutions should have subsidised or free access to broadband. The proposals will be discussed at Cabinet this week.

    That was mentioned (almost word for word AFAIR) in the business section of 5-7 live today too.
