A £32 million Scottish broadband project will be "on a par with the railway" in it's effect
says a local council leader.
The scheme is to provide 120 council offices with a 16Mbps broadband network
which has been dubbed the South of Scotland Pathfinder Project, this will
increase the current network capacity 150 times by 2009.
Schools will also benefit from the two year fibre laying with their network
speeds being connected at a minimum of 4Mbps, which will allow them to share in
'virtual classes' especially beneficial to those in rural areas.
"We are a school with high ambitions for our young people: we want to
provide them with the best opportunities to fulfil their potential, be
successful learners, confident individuals and active citizens, proud of
their heritage and place in the world."
"The provision of next-generation broadband services is a key tool in
achieving these ambitions." |
| Neil Horne headmaster |
The funding will be provided mainly by the Scottish Executive.
