A new next generation broadband network is to be implemented throughout Cornwall in the near future, it has been announced.
Kevin Lavery, chief executive of Cornwall Council, told Business Cornwall magazine that the new network would be introduced to boost the local business community.
The council is currently undertaking a procurement process for the new network and is hoping to begin construction on the next generation broadband infrastructure in the near future.
A preferred bidder to develop the network will be announced "by the end of the year", said Mr Lavery.
He added: "We're talking about for larger companies a gigabyte of speed which is incredibly fast, which will put Cornwall in a great place to do internet business anywhere in the world."
Wigton in Cumbria was recently chosen as one of ten areas in the UK to trial new Broadband Enabling Technology from BT, the News and Star reported.
