Andrew Ellis gives Presentation to Industry and Parliament Trust

Andrew Ellis gave a presentation at the Industry and Parliament Trust Breakfast on Wednesday 18th June - Tech, Media and Telecoms: Lessons from Across the Pond.

He focussed on the impact of major investments in telecoms on economic growth and identified a gradual shift in the way in which the chasm between good research and commercial products has shifted, possibly contributing to the reduction in innovative commercial activity. He also identified the opportunity for a major national infrastructure target of 1 Gbit/s broadband to all, at a projected total cost of less than 50% of HS2, with a substantially lower level of government intervention required.

The Industry and Parliament Trust is an independent charity that exists to promote engagement between Parliament and UK business.
