The minister for Digital Britain in the United Kingdom, Stephen Timms has stressed the commitment of the government to ensure next generation UK broadband access for cities, towns and even the remote regions of Scotland by 2017.

Timms have once again repeated the regular lines that those areas that would not be covered by the investment by private sector alone, would be provided with high speed broadband internet access with the help of public funding.

Timms further stated that the aim of Digital Britain was to help the United Kingdom to become one of the most technologically advanced, highly skilled and competitive economies in the world. He also revealed that the government would invest some GBP 200 million in boosting the broadband networks of those parts that had nominal or no service at all.

According to the Digital Britain minister, the Scotland market was already delivering advanced ways of connecting consumers to such superfast broadband networks, and the Fibrecity initiative was already providing the homes and businesses in Dundee with a 100Mbps broadband service, through fibre optic lines running beneath the city.

Timms concluded by saying that it was this sort of investment led by the market and backed by government funding, which he wished to see rolled out increasingly, so that all areas of Scotland could enjoy a digital future that was brighter.
