Government seeks partners to make IOM 'world leader' in telecoms

Plans underway to deliver ultrafast fibre broadband to Island

Government is looking for partners to help the Island become a 'world leader' in telecoms.

Plans to deliver ultrafast fibre broadband to the Island are underway, with Digital Isle of Man in the process of choosing a preferred supplier.

Government aims to make the tech available to more than 99% of island residents as part of its National Telecoms Strategy, which was unanimously approved by Tynwald last year.

By the end of the year, its expected 25% of Island premises will have access to the ultrafast broadband, with hopes this coverage will continue to rise as the five-year plan is rolled out.
