Rural broadband plans expanded

FUW Ceredigion county chairman Morys Ioan said the last few months had shown how vital connectivity was.

He added broadband was key for the competitiveness and viability of rural businesses.

“The FUW has stressed on many occasions that those without a connection cannot diversify their businesses, that they cannot support their children’s education and that they cannot connect readily with Government programmes for advice and support payments as they are mandated to do," said Mr Ioan.
