Sometimes being a TechCrunch editor can actually be vaguely useful. Honest. Because we cover European startups from London, I've ended up being invited to join the London Mayor's Digital Advisory Board as well as attending roundtable sessions at Number 10 Downing Street. But it's not just to chat over coffee and biscuits. Both the local London government and the national one is serious about trying to enliven and nurture the growing tech scene here. I wouldn't say they 'get it' all of the time - but they are trying, and I've seen the enthusiasm. While there are sceptics about the whole 'East London Tech City' project, I do know that there is a big appetite to nurture this industry. Nothing happens over night, but at least we've started.However, one thing I have been banging the table about - increasingly angrily as the weeks and months have past - is the provision for broadband to startups in London.
