Remote Cambridgeshire Gets BB
Posted: 07th Apr, 2004 By: MarkJ
Public, yet remote, rural areas of Cambridgeshire are to be given free broadband Internet access. It's hoped that the new government scheme may also help to bring the countys traveller population and residents closer together:
The scheme is intended to benefit all people in remote locations in Cambridgeshire.
Community spirit will be key to the scheme, which is part of the £29 million Cambridgeshire Community Network. With limited funding set aside for tutors, the scheme will rely on people to pass on their knowledge of computers to others.
Health, learning and community services will be accessible free through one hundred broadband access points set up in pubs, church halls, libraries and community centres.
The project itself is a public-private partnership between cable operator NTL and the East of England public sector consortium. More @ BBC News Online.
