A commons committee of MPs has warned the UK and Welsh Assembly governments that urgent action is needed to help solve the lack of broadband coverage in Wales, especially in the country's remote and rural locations. The committee said that public funding would probably be required, as would a greater appreciation of the need for IT skilled staff and the local language.


June's Digital Britain report has already proposed to solve part of this problem with a minimum UK broadband speed of 2Mbps being made available to everybody by 2012. However many fear that this vision may be too little too late and that action is required now and not later. Source: The Daily Post.
