Those living in broadband “notspots” in Wales are to receive grants to help them receive basic broadband connections.
The new initiative has been launched by the Welsh Government and is called the “Broadband Support Scheme” and has £2 million put into it to help fund broadband to areas where there is still no basic broadband available.
Each application for a premises where they don’t receive even basic broadband will have £1,000 made available to them to help fund getting connected to a broadband connection.
Wyn Jones, the Deputy First Minister said:
“Broadband services are vital to ensure our country can develop the knowledge economy, improving the ability of businesses and individuals to network and innovate.“
