UK net is "not ready" for future

The UK is slowly climbing up the broadband world rankings, but is still not "ready for tomorrow," according to a global study of net services.
The annual report, commissioned by network giant Cisco, looks at how well countries are doing in terms of both quality and penetration of net services.
The UK is now ranked 18th out of 72 countries, up from 25th place last year.
South Korea is once again ranked first.
The annual study, conducted by the University of Oxford's Said Business School and the University of Oviedo in Spain looks at a range of factors, including both the number of homes to have broadband and the quality of the services.
