The UK needs to follow the example of Scotland and target broadband black spots in order to improve broadband access around the country, according to Scotland's enterprise minister.

Jim Mather has said that the economy in general will benefit from more areas of the country having broadband access.

Mr Mather said: "When you look at the US and Canada, there is a very interesting pattern. Relatively small provinces such as Alberta or British Columbia are cracking on with their broadband deployments."

He added that by targeting specific areas, you "actually improve broadband access faster".

The Scottish parliament is to award a £3.5 million project in April to provide broadband to the areas of Scotland which do not currently receive it, approximately one per cent of the country, by the end of the year.

Mr Mather said that by using a website which allowed businesses and members of the public who were unable to get broadband in their area, to register an interest in receiving high-speed internet.
