Digital connectivity is a clear priority for this Government. The Super Connected Cities Programme installed WiFi in 1491 public buildings with a combined annual footfall of over 114 million, including in Yorkshire.

BDUK’s Superfast programme will provide at least 24 Megabits per second (Mbps) coverage to 95% of the UK by the end of this year. In Keighley, superfast coverage is already over 95%.

As a result of the Government's landmark agreement with mobile operators in 2014, each mobile operator will deliver mobile coverage to 90% of the UK's landmass by the end of this year. Additionally O2 will deliver indoor 4G coverage to 98% of premises in the UK, also by the end of 2017.
