HOPES of a full fibre community network on Skye look to be dashed after North Skye Broadband (NSB) backed out of a state aid application following a ‘frustrating’ 18 months.
The not-for-profit community organisation has announced it will no longer be progressing with its application for funding from Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) and Community Broadband Scotland (CBS).
The decision was taken following delays in the lengthy application process because of complex public procurement requirements.
