Broadband will be the main topic of an open day that will be held by the government to generate ideas of how to build a superfast Britain.

The event, to be held on July 15th in London, will look at ways of linking the whole country to a minimum 2Mbps broadband network.

Many rural communities, known as not-spots, currently have no access to broadband and the government wants to make sure that everyone is connected by 2012.

The second aim of the open day is to find solutions to the "digital divide" by ensuring that the roll-out of superfast fibre-optic broadband is a uniform process across urban and rural areas.

Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) will examine the findings and set out how it plans to achieve the government's targets.

The search engine optimisation firm Queryclick.com recently welcomed the plans outlined by Jeremy Hunt to connect all households to home broadband with 2Mbps minimum speeds as there are currently around three million homes without broadband.
