Uppingham Neighbourhood Forum is to debate, at its next meeting, how it might help the community benefit from the developing Wifi umbrella over the town. One proposition to be considered is a scheme which will involve local volunteers giving support to persons who do not yet own a computer but would like to know more. This could be done on a group or individual basis. There would be no cost to participants and support sessions will be hosted at local business and charity venues. Support sessions are also proposed on the potential benefits of linking up TV, radio and smartphones to the Internet. For more information on the proposal contact
