Broadband within reach for Thurso
July 24, 2003 12:00 AM
Local MP John Thurso has written again to BT Chairman, Sir Christopher Bland, to press the case for exchanges in the Far North to be broadband enabled. BT currently has a threshold target of 500 registrations for the Thurso Exchange and has received 447.
John Thurso said:
"At 500 registrations, Thurso has one of the highest threshold targets anywhere in the UK, and with 447 already received by BT, it is clear that there is a very substantial demand for broadband from within the area. I have therefore specifically requested that BT consider lowering their target to 450 as the introduction of broadband would not only provide new services for new customers but would also provide a very welcome boost for many small businesses.
I have also asked BT to confirm what is the current registration threshold for Wick".
The MP added:
"I would encourage anyone in Caithness with an interest in broadband to make sure they register with BT at the earliest opportunity".
