Swindon Borough Council is the first authority in the UK to provide free internet access for all its residents.
A partnership with the private sector will roll out free connection to the internet and free line rental and connection charge for the borough’s 186,000 people within the next four months.
Swindon has a 35% share in Digital City UK and expects to cash in on similar roll-outs of the technology to other towns and cities across the UK.
