The findings and recommendations from this study can now be used as an evidence base for the next Gloucestershire Digital Strategy. Read more about this project at farrpoint.com/case-studies/d…, or if you are interested in finding out what the Digital Connectivity Index is for your area, get in touch.

Improved 4G #connectivity is making a real difference for Skye fisherman Iain MacAskill, who can now manage his business, communicate with buyers, and stay in touch with loved ones—often over 15 miles offshore.
