FSB calls for improved rural broadband

Date: 23/5/2012

The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has called for improvements to be made with regard to rural broadband in the UK.

According to the organisation's Voice of Small Business Panel Survey, 63 per cent of small companies situated in the countryside are dissatisfied with their internet connections at present.

The FSB has therefore called on the majority of these regions to have access to superfast broadband by 2015 - a move likely to see increased usage of coaxial cables and other related products.

It is hoped such a development will act as a catalyst to revitalise the rural economy and John Walker, national chairman of the group, noted the location of a business should not matter when it comes to the connectivity it enjoys.

Mr Walker stated: "With both rural and urban businesses clearly looking to the internet to expand, it is imperative the government takes action to close the digital divide between urban and rural businesses."
