Search begins for ultra fast broadband provider

Work is underway to find a provider for ultra fast fibre broadband across the Island.

Digital Isle of Man has begun its search for a suitable candidate to deliver the Islands National Broadband Plan as part of the National Telecoms Strategy.

Enterprise Minister, Laurence Skelly MHK, recently stated around one in four Island premises will have the ultra fast technology running past them by the end of the year.

Officials are now inviting expressions of interest from organisations which could run the initiative - interested parties are being asked to submit them to the government portal no later than Noon on Friday, November 8.
