You can see they reached 102% of the target investment (3 Million GBP) in this public call: https://www.triodoscrowdfunding.co.uk/invest/broadband-for-the-rural-north In the offer document you can see the description of the initiative for potential investors. They offer 4.5% interest rate for an investment in 7 year term. The call it seems is still open for another month but oriented to UK residents. A proof that CN proposals can be both feasible and sustainable in financial (bankable) and local impact. All the best, Leandro. _______________________________________________ DC3 mailing list DC3(a)listas.altermundi.net https://listas.altermundi.net/mailman/listinfo/dc3
