Coventry & Warwickshire have been chosen as a pilot area for the UK Government's Local Full Fibre Network Programme. The programme aims to launch a Gigabit Voucher Scheme by October to encourage local SMEs to connect to full fibre networks. This will see infrastructure expanded to more businesses and homes in Coventry & Warwickshire. Better connectivity is expected to boost productivity, economic growth, and support sectors like manufacturing that are embracing digital technologies. Suppliers are invited to register their interest in being involved in the pilot programme.
