BT's Race to Infinity runs until December 31st 2010 at www.bt.com/racetoinfinity and will map demand for fibre broadband across the UK, helping BT identify "hot spots" where demand is high. The data will be used to influence the company's future deployment plans.
The five areas with the largest percentage of votes by December 31st 2010 will win the chance to bring superfast broadband to their area. BT will also donate £5,000 of computer equipment to a local community project.
BT is also looking for local campaigners who want to rally their community to vote for the chance to win The Race to Infinity and bring superfast broadband to their area. The website offers downloadable information packs, flyers and posters for people who want to become active super-fast broadband campaigners. The communities having the most success with campaigns could qualify for BT support with stickers, badges, a digital camera or money towards a local radio promotion.
*On a percentage of premises served basis after passing a threshold of 1,000 votes (one per premises). The winning exchanges will be based on the number of votes as a percentage of the exchange and will be subject to survey. When an exchange is enabled there will be some premises not able to receive fibre broadband.
