Smartphones and logistics among areas to benefit, says minister
The Policy and Reform Minister hopes proposed changes to telecoms planning rules will ensure Manx residents can make the most of new technology.
Government is currently seeking feedback on plans to make it easier to install small-scale telecommunications equipment, particularly for fast fibre and 5G.
If given the go-ahead, the new policy would mean items such as roadside cabinets and some antennas wouldn't require planning permission.
Chris Thomas says this affects a range of areas:
Help available for small businesses
Age Concern IOM shuts information centre
'Slow progress' being made in terms of medical cannabis sector
DHSC flags "unsustainable" deficit and growing waiting lists in Manx Care assessment
Chamber of Commerce brands minimum wage decision 'devastating'
