Council To Get Broadband On Scilly?

There is to be a Broadband Roadshow Day in the Town Hall on 18 September between 10 am and 8 pm to promote the concept of broadband on the Islands.

The Show is being put in by ACT NOW - an Objective One initiative that has joined up several Cornish towns and is now looking at extending the project to more remote or rural areas. There will be a satellite link-up on the day so everyone can see what it is like, how fast it is and it’s benefits.

Off-islanders will have their boat fares covered by the Council.
