According to a survey carried out by Vodafone, close to three quarters of rural New Zealanders think that their youth are disadvantaged by the lack of access to broadband.
Of the 1,086 rural New Zealanders surveyed:
• 84% believe rural youth are missing out on learning opportunities
• 70% believe they are missing out on the development of IT skills
• 60% think they are missing out on employment opportunities
• Over 50% think they are isolated because they can’t participate in social networking sites
To address these challenges, Vodafone and Farmside have teamed up to deliver broadband solutions that are available right now to New Zealanders no matter how remote their address.
