- Local authorities in England and Scotland have been allocated £363m to help provide super-fast broadband as part of the government’s drive to bridge the UK’s digital divide between town and countryside. The redistribution of a portion of the BBC licence fee will see Devon and Somerset, Cumbria, Norfolk and Lincolnshire receive the biggest boost to local broadband roll-out, while the West Midlands, Tees Valley and Greater Manchester will each receive less than £1m.
- Technology is now being recycled and then manufacturer refurbished so that even if people can buy something new from the high street, they can have a chance to experience these products in a used but new state. This allows at least some access to technology for people who are affected by the economical factor.
