Posted: 17th Sep, 2003 By: MarkJ
The Scottish Minister for Enterprise and Lifelong Learning, Jim Wallace, has announced a new £1.5 million Business Broadband Incentive fund to encourage further uptake:
Mr Wallace also announced that new independent research to be published later this week will back the Executives strategy of increasing broadband takeup through measures to stimulate demand.
Speaking at an e-Business Week event in Dunfermline Mr Wallace said. The Executive believes that broadband can be a key tool for economic growth across Scotland. Improving digital connectivity and increasing demand for broadband access is vitally important.and a key priority for the Executive.
The faster internet access broadband offers increases business efficiency, enables greater exploitation of e-business opportunities, and improves competitive performance. This new incentive fund I am launching today will enable businesses across Scotland to receive £300 or £1200 to offset the cost of taking on a broadband connection."
It's understood that the £300 incentive is likely to be for Powerline, ADSL and cable connections, with support rising to £1,200 for more expensive Satellite services. More HERE. Credits to ADSLGuide for spotting this.
