We are used to seeing schemes to provide wireless hotspots across a city, but
Somerset County Council has gone further and is aiming to create the first
county-wide wireless broadband hotspot.
It is planning a 22Mbps wireless system to connect the towns and villages in
it's area, it says the new technology is vital to the area's future and
will help open up a wealth of new opportunities for businesses and the general
public.
| "Next Generation Broadband is particularly important to us because we
are a very rural county with a widely dispersed population. This will help
establish a dynamic environment where private, public and voluntary
sectors can flourish" |
| Paul Buchanan, deputy leader of Somerset County Council |
