We will continue to speak to residents and the business community as this exciting programme takes shape.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the combined authority, further fibre roll-out across the area will complement and enhance large-scale private sector investment in international connectivity &#8211; ensuring that economic benefit can be generated in the region &#8211; notably by Aquacomms, who are investing in linking Newcastle and the Stellium Data Centres in North Tyneside to Denmark, Ireland and North America.<\/p>\n<p>However Wave 3 of the LFFN programme only has \u00a395m in its pot and there are a number of other bidders, which means that not all may be successful or get exactly what they want.
