MT boss says compromise over infrastructure is needed
There has to be a compromise to balance the Isle of Man’s need for better internet with the visual impact of the infrastructure needed.
It's according to Manx Telecom which is aiming to connect 99% of premises on the Island to fibre by 2024.
Over 42% of properties have been reached so far, but the rollout hasn’t been without incident.
An attempt to connect a residential estate in Colby, using telegraph poles, was met with public outrage and saw the company apologise for not communicating effectively.
Chief executive Gary Lamb says there will always be a difference of opinion:
Five IOM women recognised in King's Birthday Honours
Police issue statement after reports female 'grabbed by her arm'
Option to relocate dementia patients no longer being considered by Manx Care
'Multitude of late boat arrivals' impacting customer numbers, says business
