Households and business in North Lanarkshire will have significantly improved access to gigabit-capable fibre broadband years earlier than planned.
A new deal has been approved by North Lanarkshire Council (NLC) that will fundamentally improve connectivity across the region.
Up to £150m could be spent over the initial 15-year deal with Commsworld to transform NLC's digital infrastructure, significantly boosting school internet access and creating a free public WiFi network across town centres and community facilities.
