Two neighbouring but isolated rural civil parish villages in North Yorkshire UK, Great Ouseburn and Little Ouseburn (Harrogate, England), will soon get access to a faster internet connection through the Connecting North Yorkshire (CNY) initiative.

The initiative, which is a partnership between North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC), NYnet and Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK), follows a successful campaign and will use a mix of fibre optic and wireless ( Wi-Fi ) technologies to deliver the service.


Apparently 100 local premises expressed an interest (well above the 50+ minimum required by CNY) in the service, which is a huge achievement for such a tiny community. The ISP responsible for operating the service itself will be LN Communications, which runs most of its related packages through the newly established wireless provider - I Love Broadband.
