As per a new survey conducted by Orange, the universality of internet access across the length and breadth of the country is likely to induce changes in trends relating to habitat preferences of the UK population.
The broadband map developed as a result of Orange’s Connected Britain research points out that if the entire population of the UK, irrespective of the place of residence or work, is provided with fast and trustworthy fixed and mobile broadband, a lot of people would want to shift from their present place of residence or work. Out of over three thousand respondents, a substantial number showed their willingness to leave areas like North and the Midlands and settle down in areas like Scotland and the South Wales.
Most of the respondents said that if they could stay connected to the World Wide Web from every corner of the country, they would want to shift from their current places. The survey also pointed out that factors like distant workplaces etc. also played an important role in making such choices and hence, better broadband coverage would work to the advantage of the working populace.
A representative of Orange said that a closely connected British workforce would have the potential to change the entire work culture and correspondingly the mode of work throughout the country over and above the population shift in certain parts of Britain.
