Survey of broadband black-spots launched

Survey of broadband black-spots launched People in rural communities have been asked to help the Country Land and Business Association (CLA) compile a list of broadband black-spots.

It hopes to gauge demand for high-speed internet amongst farmers and work with BT to find a short-term solution for those still using slower dial-up connections.

The CLA's head of business management Charles Trotman said: "The CLA still receives inquiries from members frustrated they cannot take advantage of these services because they live in remote rural areas."

He added that those wanting to connect to a high speed ADSL network should contact the CLA with details such as address, phone number and reasons for wanting broadband.

Meanwhile, a £28 million high-speed transatlantic internet cabling project which will connect Northern Ireland with the US has been hailed by one commentator.

David Allen of TECH Watch claims the project will improve businesses in Northern Ireland and boost the country's economy. ADNFCR-1186-ID-18973234-ADNFCR
