A broadband plea

National Party MP Todd Muller, left, and Conservative Party Candidate Deborah Cunliffe.

Bay of Plenty MP Todd Muller is calling on local authorities to make their case to bring ultra-fast broadband (UFB) to the Bay of Plenty.

The Government has launched the next step in its $2 billion fibre investment with a Registration of Interest document seeking input from local councils and technology providers on why their town should get UFB and the Rural Broadband Initiative.
