WMnet

WMnet is the tag name for the West Midlands Regional Broadband Consortium, an association of local councils in the West Midlands of England created under the aegis of the Department for Education and Skills National Grid for Learning Programme in 2001.
==Overview==
The West Midlands in the title of WMnet refers to an English region which stretches from the Peak District in the north down to the Wye and Severn valleys in the South; its Western boundary is the Welsh border and it incorporates most of the Welsh Marches in Shropshire and Herefordshire. To the East it stretches as far as Rugby, in Warwickshire and the M1 motorway. It contains some very substantial English cities in Stoke on Trent, Wolverhampton, Coventry and Birmingham. Its population of 5.5 million is slightly in excess of that of Scotland and about one-ninth of the English total. This ''greater'' West Midlands region is not to be confused with another, smaller, West Midlands metropolitan County. Cultural identification with the West Midlands is weak in the sense that most residents would be unlikely to claim to live there and perhaps a majority are unaware that they reside there. Inhabitants are more likely to say that they come from Birmingham, from Stafford, from Stoke, or the Black Country.
