Broadband and 5G upgrades seen as key
Plans to dramatically improve the Isle of Man's telecoms infrastructure have received parliamentary backing.
The new National Telecommunications Strategy was unanimously approved by Tynwald last night.
It includes plans for the introduction of 5G, and a big upgrade on broadband provision.
In a table of mean download speeds the Isle of Man currently ranks 62nd, with it taking almost three times as long to download 5GB of data here than it does in tenth-ranked Jersey, and almost six times longer than it does in top-ranked Singapore.
Enterprise Minister Laurence Skelly moved the motion.
