Kissinggates.com is often acknowledged for it’s success as a farm based innovative business, which solves some of the growing social problems in the countryside, in recognition of this our founder and Director James Vestbirk was recently made an Ambassador for Enterprise UK to inspire rural businesses. 

Kissinggates.com is not only committed to helping single farmers find love in the rural community but we also aim improve services for people who live in the countryside. As such, today we attended an event on Entreprenuship and ‘Solutions for Business‘ where we raised a topic for discussion on broadband infrastructure within the UK countryside, there is a lot of business support services receiving funding but there is a very limited amount spent on improving rural infrastructure which innovation relies upon.

However there is hope in the form of Virgin who are trialing delivering fibre optic high speeds over telegraph poles, in doing so they hope to reach a further one million rural homes and the UK government has pledged that everyone in the country will  have 2Mps broadband by 2012, lets hope so. This will mean more people can use dating services like Kisisnggates.com to find new country friends. The roll out of fast broadband to rural areas is essential to continue remote social networking and it is a segment of the UK which could really benefit from the changes fast broadband can bring.

However it is on the agenda and we are optimistic if people keep pushing for an improved focus on rural broadband eventually it will happen, fingers crossed
