The Welsh Assembly government has confirmed that its 'Broadband Wales' unit will take to the roads for an advertising campaign to raise awareness and interest in an attempt to boost uptake of the high speed Internet connections.
The unit has wired up three Smart cars which will travel around Welsh communities for a six month project titled Get Smart - Get Broadband.
The minister for economic development and transport and e-minister Andrew Davies has welcomed the initiative.
"We believe the very best way to spread the good news about broadband is not by sitting behind our desks but by hitting the streets of Wales," he said.
"That's why we're taking broadband on the road so that many people will be able to chat to our team of experts face-to-face, and get hands-on with broadband."
The wheels of the project will be set in motion this Sunday at the Party in the Park in Swansea.© DeHavilland Information Services plc
