The South East of England Development Agency (SEEDA) has reportedly appointed Wired Sussex for a new broadband project in the region.
Wired Sussex will consult, manage and deliver up to 170 grants for businesses and organisations in Milton Keynes, Kents, Bucks and the Isle of Wight, who are unable to access ADSL Broadband.
The grants will target small and medium-sized businesses, but funding will be available for other organisations, such as schools, clinics and community projects.
The programme will also aim to raise awareness of the benefits of broadband and stimulate demand
Eligible organisations can apply for a £200 grant for a satellite or wireless Broadband connection from a £34,000 pot of money. Grants will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
SEEDAs Wired Region Broadband Programmes Manager Peter Sinclair said: "Access to broadband and improved communications is vital to ensuring that businesses retain their competitive edge. We hope that this programme will help to demonstrate the demand for all incarnations of broadband and benefit the wider South East community."
