Ceredigion’s Welsh Liberal Democrat MP Mark Williams has raised concern in Parliament that despite the huge investment into the roll out of broadband infrastructure across the UK, many people are left in the dark about how to take-up this service.
The UK is investing a huge amount into this technology, around £490 per taxpayer, however it seems that use of it is not properly being taken up across the UK, with take up in Wales at around 17%.
Commenting, Mark Williams said;
‘Whilst roll out of the broadband technology is proceeding across the country, the take up of this is poor, particularly in Wales. It is clear that the message is not getting across, and either the Minister or BT themselves need to work on promoting this.’
