Lyng to get broadband at last

Just received this from my colleague on the Lyng Broadband group - hooray!
Hello All,
I am delighted to tell you that Norfolk County Council has now formally approved the plans for the wi-fi broadband service in Lyng as part of a three-village pilot project. Work is now underway to acquire planning permission and draw up a timescale for the roll-out of the service. This is a major and important stage in the development of what has been and continues to be a complex project. As soon as we have been given the details of the timescale we shall be able to move towards pricing the options that Lyng people will have for purchasing and fitting receivers. These will involve NO monthly charges – the service offered by the County is similar to the library service ie free to use. There will however be set-up costs involved for receiving equipment and installation. The action group is working to provide suitable options to suit the community. The next stage will be to publish the timescale and confirm the people who are registering a firm intention to take up the service. I would just like to say thank you to all the people who have worked on, or actively supported, this project,  and look forward to being able to tell you more soon. Paddy McHugh, Lyng Broadband Action Group
