The only Internet Service Provider approved by the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency (BECTA) to offer Net access to schools anywhere in Britain, Paradigm-ICT, has gone broke.

Its assets have been bought by Progrid Ltd, which will continue to offer Internet access services and curriculum content to schools.
