Manx Telecom's national fibre rollout scheme is going to be delayed due to the recent rejection of plans by the Planning Committee.

The target completion date for the government-backed project was next month.
Chief technology officer Hugo van Zyl says the company has to go back to the drawing board following the rejections:
