Telecoms Advice was initiated and seed funded by Oftel's Small Business Task Force - see the original Oftel foreword here. We were an official partner in the DTI UK online for business initiative under the DTI Small Business Service, and authored their original Broadband brochure - but we are wholly independent, can make reference to commercial products and services, and link freely to external sources of information.

Who are we?
TelecomsAdvice is published by Crucible Multimedia Ltd based in Sheffield. Crucible was set-up specifically to publish telecomsadvice, initially financed by Oftel through its Small Business Task Force, with the support of the University of Sheffield under the EU funded Telerise project. You can contact us by email, or by completing our comments form.
Oftel's Small Business Task Force comprised UK small business organisations representatives and advisers, government agencies and telecoms and ICT companies including network operators, equipment manufacturers, software producers and maintenance contractors. From April 2000 to 2003 Oftel promoted this site to major telcos asking for sponsorship and subsidised any gaps in funding. Ofcom absorbed Oftel on 31st December 2003 and, although still linking to us along with Business Link, will not be supporting the site financially as Oftel did. TelecomsAdvice will continue with its impartial editorial policy while in future being funded by relevant non-invasive advertising sponsorship from telecom and ICT suppliers and the consultancy services of Crucible Multimedia Ltd.
The Crucible Multimedia Ltd ICT and web consultancy and telecoms brokerage services through telecomsadvice.co.uk for mobile, fixed line and Broadband Internet are available by enquiry using the 'contact us' form or email .
