Statement by Alderman Stewart McDonald:
“I welcome the proposal by the mobile phone companies to upgrade the mobile data capacity in Bannside from 3G to 4G.
“In today’s technology based society access to high speed internet on mobiles, laptops and tablets is a necessity to many people. More often than not it is the more rural areas that are lacking in infrastructure to deliver such a service.
“Therefore I wholeheartedly welcome the proposal to upgrade the existing infrastructure to deliver 4G to the area. This enhances Bannside and I am certain it will prove beneficial to local people and businesses alike.”
