Welcome to NYnet - Broadband transformation for North Yorkshire
Information for Business Users
Is Your Broadband Connection Costing You More Than Just Money? This is the question that NYnet is asking owners and landlords of business parks and managed workspaces across North Yorkshire. You may have heard about the high capacity, resilient and cost effective fibre network which NYnet and NYCC initiated to eleviate the problems the public sector were experiencing in terms of connectivity. This network is now available to business parks and managed workspace through collaboration with the owners, landlords and IT providers of parks and workspaces.
Some local service providers already working with NYnet have been able to offer clients numerous benefits which help them to be more efficient and cost effective. Services such as:
• VoIP - extremely low call costs and zero telephone line rental.
• Disaster recovery - remote offsite backups are now a reality because of the fast upload speed that fibre provides.
• Hosted Applications – fast Internet speeds means fast access to application servers off-site.
• Faster downloads/uploads – fibre networks are light years ahead of copper based networks.
• Remote Access – remotely connecting to the office from home or from a customer/supplier site can be a painfully slow experience on ADSL.
• Video Conferencing – ‘blue sky’ for most organisations up until now. The practical and commercial benefits for reducing travel costs and the time taken to get together (without losing the undisputed value of a face-to-face meeting) is within easy reach.

Information for Business Users
Businesses in North Yorkshire are disadvantaged in terms of using the knowledge economy to compete. This is due to the difficulties with access to quality high speed broadband and digital services to conduct e-business compared to urban areas.
NYnet, established by North Yorkshire Country Council to provide higher quality and faster broadband to the public sector, will improve services for public organisations such as schools, universities, council offices and many others across the whole of North Yorkshire.
Whilst NYnet can offer services to the public sector, it cannot supply businesses and householders with broadband due to European State Aid and Competition regulations. However, to address the private sector Yorkshire Forward and the European Regional Development Fund have given funding to utilise the extra capacity of this network to open up the market to Internet Service Providers. NYnet is in a unique position to help ISPs carry this massive increase in demand for bandwidth throughout a significant proportion of North Yorkshire.
NYnet are presently in negotiations with many of the large ISP companies across the UK and is actively encouraging them to provide services to support the untapped demand of SMEs in North Yorkshire. In addition, the NYnet team are also talking to smaller local companies who are already providing ICT services to businesses in North Yorkshire and are interested in increasing their business potential by providing broadband direct to other SMEs. As these local ISP companies sign up to the NYnet network we will inform businesses of the details and services they can offer via our newsletter, website and partner groups such as Business Links, Chamber of Commerce and District Councils.
