Three offers free broadband to rural areas

Mobile operator Three is giving away free 3G broadband to rural areas in the UK.

The network provider is giving 11 communities free dongles for a year to areas struggling to get fixed line services.

Three’s initiative is in response to the governments pledge that projected all areas of the UK should have a basic broadband service of 2Mbps (megabits per second) by 2015.

Gringley-on-the-Hill in North Nottinghamshire will be the first to benefit- it’s residence will receive 30 dongles and free data access for a year, as well as public WiFi hotspots in the local pub and community centre.
