“Broadband, just like roads and railways, is a vital part of Scotland’s infrastructure, and that is why we are committed to delivering a world class digital infrastructure to the people of Scotland by 2020.”
Chris van der Kuyl, Chief Executive of Dundee-based online publishing company Brightsolid, said:
