The State of Brandenburg has announced that it will include satellite broadband services from Eutelsat as part of its “Broadband supply for rural areas” programme. The objective is to bridge the digital divide in the German state by the end of 2009.
Minister President Matthias Platzeck made the announcement last week at an information event on broadband:
The broadband initiative of the Government that aims to reduce to the minimum all remaining white spots once again demonstrates that no region or community in Brandenburg will be left behind.
As I have written many times before, in Canada, Barrett Xplore has continued to invest in bringing next generation satellite broadband services to complement the reach of its fixed wireless services in rural Canada.
