#rural hour – broadband and digital connectivity
September 23, 2014 @ 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Our next #ruralhour? is on Tuesday 23rd?September from 9-10pm on the subject of broadband and digital connectivity.
This theme was one of our most frequent chosen responses to our consultation.
Whilst there are programs in place to ensure that most communities can access the internet, there are still concerns about the remaining communities, the speed of connection, mobile phone signal coverage and other related matters.
Are the current programs going to meet peoples needs or does more need to be done?
