FarrPoint Webinar: The Connectivity Puzzle beyond Gigabit

As more UK local authority areas are awarded Gigabit infrastructure contracts, we pose the challenge - what's next? It is clear that project Gigabit will not reach all premises and even if it did, our job does not stop there. We've invited four local authority representatives to talk about the 'to do list' on their connectivity agendas in our next webinar.

About the webinar

Consumers and businesses need excellent connectivity at home, work and at play. Businesses and public services need smart infrastructure to lower costs, reduce emissions and improve services. However, the benefits of all this connectivity will only be realised if services are fully adopted by ensuring the necessary knowledge and skills are also in place.

Gigabit infrastructure is clearly only part of the puzzle and there is much more to consider to ensure regions are digitally enabled and ready to enjoy the benefits that brings.
