Welsh broadband to be improved
Thursday 21st February 2008, by Daniel King
It has been announced by the Welsh deputy first minister that money will be released to ensure everyone gained access to broadband, the Press Association reports.
Ieuan Wyn Jones spoke about the need to fix broadband "not-spots" in certain areas, saying that it was believed that over 0.6 per cent of the population of Wales could not access high speed connections.
During the debate in the Assembly Government, AM Nerys Evans commented: "There are a number of examples of whole villages ... where research has shown that the lack of a broadband connection is having a great economic impact on the village."
It is believed that the money made available will be dependent on approval by the European commission to raise the limit on allowable state subsidies.
Last March the Welsh Assembly Government closed the Broadband Wales Programme after achieving the set targets, but broadband users can still register under the "notspot" section if they are unable to access services.
