Telephone watchdog Oftel has
announced that several telecoms operators are backing a scheme
that will allow public institutions to gain cheaper access to the
Internet.
Oftel Monday said that the new proposals will mean lower rates not
only for schools -- which already benefit from lower tariffs --
but for public libraries, Colleges of Further Education and
Citizens Advice Bureaux.
"BT, Kingston, CWC, Telewest, NTL and Energis have all agreed
in principle to the scheme, which will benefit those who might
otherwise not have access to the Internet," said David Edmonds,
director general of telecommunications.
