NorthernNet is a high speed telecommunication network, symmetric network of 100Mbs (upgradeable to 1 Gbps) that connects the North of England and beyond. It is available to businesses as a direct connection and, for the first time ever, as pay-as-you-go via NorthernNet Media Access Bureaux (MABs) located within 17 educational, cultural and business venues across the North, including within MediaCityUK in Salford.

How can we exploit the opportunities provided by super-fast broadband and MediaCity:UK to elevate the North to be a leading force in the European media industry? By connecting the North’s creative and digital industries to form a robust and competitive supply chain driven by innovation and collaboration. NorthernNet’s Innovation and Collaboration project, delivered in partnership in the NE with Codeworks, provides both the infrastructure and practical support for companies to explore collaborative working on real projects.

NorthernNet is funded by The Northern Way.

.net

Launched in 1994, .net magazine is the world’s best-selling magazine for web designers and developers. For more than a decade .net has delivered cutting-edge commentary, insightful tutorials, exclusive interviews, and expert reviews to millions of web users around the world. Our unique readership isn’t just consuming the web, it’s actively developing and building the next generation of websites and services (find out more at www.netmag.co.uk).

But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what leading designers and developers have to say about .net magazine:

“I was floored by the amount of quality web designer/developer-related content the magazine has to offer. The old argument, “I can get all this on the web” doesn’t hold water for me these days. I love the feel of printed pages; the ability to scribble notes and highlight; the freedom to rip out pages and tape them to the wall.”
Cameron Moll, new media designer (www.cameronmoll.com)

“I think .net magazine is one of those publications we all wish for. I love that they’re Œgetting’ the complexities of web work.”
Molly E. Holzschlag, web standards advocate (www.molly.com)
