North Yorkshire CC has completed its high-speed broadband roll-out on schedule and within budget. The £42.4m contract, which connects the region's 550 schools, care centres, libraries and council offices, was completed by public-private firm NyNet. Under the 10-year contract, council sites will receive core broadband speeds up to 60 times faster than previously available, with 35% more bandwidth, at no additional cost. David Sadler, assistant director in charge of ICT services at North Yorkshire CC, said the project would deliver ‘massively improved' services.
