Easy broadband access could impact on population in various areas

It has been revealed by the mobile communications giant Orange that if easy access to broadband services is provided in the UK then the population in certain areas is likely to be affected.

The mobile communications giant Orange has recently released information showing how different parts of the UK could be affected in terms of population in the event that access to adequate broadband services is improved. Orange launched a map detailing how the population of various areas in the UK would change in terms of density as a result of this improved access to higher speed broadband services.

The map suggested that if easier access to broadband services is introduced across the country then the population density in Scotland could swell by around fifty percent by 2015. The map also indicated that the population density in the South West could swell by as much as one hundred and fifty percent by 2015 if access to broadband services is improved. In London it is thought that the population density could increase by around fifty percent.

However, the map also showed that some areas would end up on the other end of the scale, where the areas ended up seeing the population density decrease. The North of England and the Midlands were highlighted as areas that were likely to see the population density drop if access to broadband services is improved across the country by 2015.

An official from Orange said that research carried out by the company indicated that the face of Britain could be changed as a result of access to higher speed broadband in a greater number of areas, stating: “Our research found that a digitally connected workforce could change the face of Britain as we know it.”
