BT's Next Generation Access (NGA) Managing Director, Bill Murphy responds to OnTheWight's Open Letter to IWC Cabinet about the proposed Rural broadband project.
Many concerns were raised over the Rural Broadband Project leading to some councillors remaining unconvinced that appointing BT as preferred bidder was the right decision.
Council officers and the Cabinet member responsible were questioned by the Scrutiny Committee last week over the proposed £3m+ council investment in BT's Rural Broadband project.
There's some disquiet about the placement of new broadband cabinets around the Island's road and streets. The new Minister says planning rules should be navigated around. What's the impact on the Island?
Council appeal for residents and businesses to take a moment to register their support for the scheme to bring super-fast broadband to rural areas of the Island. Only if they can show interest will the Government match fund the investment.
