The event will be sponsored by NorthernNet. So, who are NorthernNet? Well, they run a collection of of pay-as-you-go use of Media Access Bureaus which are basedin convenient locations across the North. These MAB’s are available for rent by freelancers and small businesses. Why did they set these up? Well, the North didn’t have the speed and capacity for data storage and transmission in the past. NorthernNet have built the MAB’s to change that and for the first time the North West, Yorkshire and the North East will have a single high speed, digital network that connects the region’s creative and digital industry sectors and customers.
