One year on for New Agenda.
On the 6th March 2012,
this “New Agenda” blog, first appeared on the internet, giving my
personal views on news and events. The first entry was a rant about
BT and the provision of lines and fibre optics to people, like me,
who live in rural areas. The reason for the moan was that the
internet connection that morning was very slow “...the Internet connection will
only work in -1st gear” and that “........ I have to wait
with bated breath for nearly 20 minutes for each stage of the
connection”. Most frustrating as I was trying to publish the
very first post on “New Agenda”. Well things have certainly
changed since then. The broadband connection to this village has
improved significantly.
After many months of
trying, I was eventually able to obtain a MAC code from AOL, advise
them that they were too expensive, their service was awful and that I
was moving to a different provider.
Ironically, I moved to BT
who now provide not only my telephone and unlimited Broadband
connection but also the television box and “Freeview” connection.

In the 12 months since
that first blog post, New Agenda has received over 12300 visits. The
list of places where people read these posts, extends beyond the UK,
and Jersey, to Europe, the United States, the Middle East and even as
far as Australasia. A big “thank you” to all those visitors.

Over the coming moths,
particularly in the light of unfolding events in the UK and beyond,
“New Agenda” will continue to publish articles and reports on
matters considered to be of “public interest” and invite comments
and contributions from readers.
Here's to looking forward
to the next year of New Agenda.
