James Mead 8780eca301 Fix & normalize Coop frontmatter YAML
Also ensure newline at EOF.

This was achieved by running the new normalize_coop_frontmatter.rb
script which basically reads in the frontmatter, parses it and dumps it
back out.

I had to manually fix some telephone numbers which had been incorrectly
parsed as some kind of number rather than as strings.

At CBN we work to advise national and local Government, urban and rural organisations on ways to develop their digital infrastructure to promote economic development and digital inclusion.
We emphasise the opportunity that comes from the development of what we call a truly **transformational digital infrastructure** or TDI; While “Gigabit” and “superfast broadband” are often seen as goals in their own right they are in truth inputs to a greater transformational agenda.
Too often there is an assumption that once superfast or ultrafast broadband is in place the economic and social benefits will naturally follow but without that wider agenda that sees the infrastructure as a foundation, there remains a risk that the next wave of innovation will be unfocused and may miss key economic and social goals.
Thats why we have helped develop new types of infrastructure initiative like the Brighton Digital Exchange, a carrier neutral PoP and data centre owned and run by a co-operative of ISPs and digital sector businesses.
CBN has many years experience of delivering other innovative projects that shape urban and rural areas through innovation.
