Hampshire County Council has decided to begin plans for a broadband project that aims to provide an internet service to all of Hampshire over the next two years.
The County Council plans to use local funding to improve speeds in certain ‘not-spots’, so that they can be considered for a government grant. Which they would not otherwise receive without a minimum broadband speed decided by the Broadband Delivery UK service.
Executive for Economic Development and Rural Affairs, Raymond Ellis, said that these plans would help encourage people to use the internet as a tool to make life easier, allowing them to shop online, and help to improve the economic drive of the area.
Costs for these plans are estimated to reach around 3.7 million pounds.
