Cornwall-based broadband provider Wildanet has collaborated with Nokia to accelerate the installation of a gigabit-enabled full fibre network across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. This strategic partnership aims to enhance digital connectivity in these underserved areas.
Cornish ISP Wildanet has secured £35 million from UK Infrastructure Bank to expand their fibre-to-the-premise network. This funding aims to connect an additional 20,000 homes and businesses in Cornwall, enhancing connectivity and driving economic growth.
Wildanet, a Cornwall-based fibre network builder, marks a milestone in corporate sustainability by becoming the UK’s first altnet to earn B-Corp Certification. This accolade spotlights the broader ramifications for the telecom industry as it grapples with its own global responsibility measures. While celebrating the achievement, it ignites the debate over whether the sector is doing enough to address burgeoning demands for a sustainable, equitable world.
