UK community groups win free wi-fi
Mother and toddler groups, youth clubs and unemployment centres are among the winners of a competition offering free wi-fi to remote areas.
From the Orkney Islands to southern Cornwall, 46 communities have been chosen to receive free wi-fi for a minimum of three years.
The competition was launched by wi-fi hotspot firm Freerunner.
The firm uses a combination of broadband, satellite and 3G to connect remote communities.
The connections will be paid for by a combination of advertisements and corporate sponsorship.
Rural town Stromness in Orkney is a typical winner.
