UK - Gordon Brown Praises NYnets North Yorkshire Broadband Network

Posted: 04th Jul, 2009 By: MarkJ
The UK Governments Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has praised the work of broadband ISP NYnet in helping rural communities in North Yorkshire to access essential services via the Internet. Brown was speaking during a visit to the council library in Sherburn (Elmet) this week.

NYnet recently completed the installation of a high-speed broadband link to over 500 North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) sites including 42 libraries in the region, which will help many more people to access essential services.

NYnet's Sales and Marketing Director, Andy Lister, said:
“We are delighted that Gordon Brown has taken such an interest in North Yorkshire and has recognised the important role that NYnet plays ... We have ambitious plans to roll out access to NYnet’s high-speed broadband throughout the public sector in the region to enable more people to benefit from our services.”

NYnet, formed by Yorkshire Forward and North Yorkshire County Council with funding from the European Union, provides a super-fast Internet network to ensure North Yorkshire is not ‘left behind’ by the rest of the world.

No doubt the government would like to see a lot more initiatives like this, though it would certainly help if they cut or reduced the poorly balanced tax on fibre optic broadband lines.
