This week we had the announcement that the mobile phone company Three is planning to give free broadband internet access to rural areas of the UK that have difficulty accessing the internet, so some areas out there that have real local phone numbers rather than virtual local phone numbers will finally be getting some telecoms and internet benefits!
Three is going to give 3G broadband to 11 communities in the UK that struggle to get online. They are going to provide free dongles and free access for a year. The first beneficiaries of the scheme will be Gringley-on-the-Hill in North Nottinghamshire, who will receive 30 free dongles, free access for a year, public Wi-Fi hotspots in the pub and the community centre.
10 more areas will get this over the next year.
