RURAL businesses in Wiltshire have been urged to address their problems with computer and website skills or risk falling behind their competitors.
Business Link Berkshire and Wiltshire has teamed up with Wiltshire College to provide the AgriNet Bus to help companies in rural areas combat these problems and give advice on the lack of internet broadband in rural areas.
The self-contained mobile information and communication technology training unit, equipped with eight workstations, is ideally suited to running small workshops and informal advice sessions.
On May 20 and 21 it was at Whitebridge industrial estate near Semley, and covered rural broadband and how to get connected, and setting up an online rural business.
"The AgriNet bus is a great way of getting all the information needed on rural broadband issues right to the doorstep of the people it affects," said Business Link e-business adviser David Howlett.
"We also offer visitors the chance to try out Cattle Tracing System online, the programme created to allow farmers to view and submit information to the Cattle Tracing System via the internet."
