More Project Gigabit contracts signed
The government has announced the signing of four new contracts worth £289 million, as part of Project Gigabit. The project is intended to enable faster broadband speeds in isolated communities across the UK.
Discussing the initiative, a government spokesperson said: “Project Gigabit plays a key role in plans to kickstart economic growth, and break down barriers to opportunity as part of the government’s Plan for Change.
“Areas set to benefit from the new contracts include North and Southwest Wales, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Devon, Somerset, Essex, North East England and Worcestershire.”
Technology secretary, Peter Kyle, said: “We are determined to deliver the infrastructure this country needs to thrive, and I am thrilled to see so many homes and businesses in all areas of the country getting access to the fastest broadband speeds on the market through Project Gigabit.
