Large rural areas such as parts of Scotland and Wales often suffer from poor broadband internet reception, in many cases people who live way out in the countryside can only dream of getting broadband internet in their homes. The fact that the telecommunications industry is vital to Wales economy has led many people to complain to BT and the Welsh Assembly that they want some of the high speed internet that the rest of the country has been enjoying for the past few years.

One communications company, Telecomms Facilities has made one (potentially sacrilegious) suggestion that church spires could be used as mounts for high strength wireless internet transmitters, this would potentially increase the range of internet access to more rural and out of the way areas of Wales, but what would the public and more importantly the Church think?

Amazingly the Church was positive about the motion, as were the broadband campaigners, obviously they were for the idea as they would get their much sought after internet but the church was swayed by a potential new revenue stream. Bizarrely they also believed that by renting out their church spires that their places of worship would become beacons of the community for the 21st century.

Perhaps someone needs to tell them that they may not want hundreds of blackberries tapping away during Sunday mass, but overall they were agreed that the idea would be best for all involved.

BT reports that 99.9% of the Wales population is now able to get broadband internet but the Welsh Consumer Council begs to differ with some areas of Wales having as little as 42% of their population connected to the internet. For a long time now many organisations have stated that statistics like these are not good enough and need to change, the abundance of these broadband "not spots" has lead to companies looking to unorthodox methods of delivering broadband internet such as this wireless church spire proposal.

Telecomms Facilities has been enabling broadband in many rural areas over the past few years using similar techniques but feels that the height of some of these spires is perfect for spreading their reach even further. The idea may be pushed forward sooner than expected as they initially believed the church may have protested to using their places of worship as antennas.
