Apologies if this has been posted before, but the Scottish Government is asking people who can't get broadband to register their problem at:

www.scotland.gov.uk/News/Releases/2007/10/05114408 (http://forum.caithness.org/go.php?url=http://forum.caithness.org/go.php?url=http://www.scotland.gov.uk/News/Releases/2007/10/05114408)

There is a link on this page to an e-form.

It says: "Individuals and businesses have been asked to come forward so that the so-called 'reach' problem where people cannot access broadband technology, mainly due to the distance from ADSL-enabled telephone exchanges, can be addressed.

"An open procurement process, worth up to £3.5 million, has now started to find a suitable provider(s) to deliver services with the aim of ensuring people wanting broadband in rural areas are provided with access."

Let's hope it solves the problem soon!!
