A low-cost internet access scheme will be announced next year, it's been revealed.
Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse revealed the news in a blog post on his Facebook page, but didn't give any details about the scheme.
He said he'd been briefed on the initiative by the Communications and Utilities Regulatory Authority.
Mr Moorhouse says the scheme, being developed after a Tynwald debate earlier this year, will go out to public consultation in February.
