Broadband expansion in Norsjö is stopped - the money is over

Norsjö municipality's IT steering group has decided to stop the ongoing broadband expansion. The work is stopped because the money will not be enough. - Of course, it is sad that we cannot extend broadband to everyone who was thinking, says Mikael Lindfors (S), chair of the local council, in a press release.

It was last week that they decided to stop the expansion of the broadband. The reason is that the work risks exceeding the budget decided by the Swedish Board of Agriculture.

This means that Finnäs, Prästudden and Näset will not have broadband intervened in 2019. Now the municipality's goal is instead that households in the areas will have broadband intervened next year instead. But for this to be possible, you need to get approved by the Swedish Board of Agriculture.

"We will hear from you as soon as we have received an answer from the Swedish Board of Agriculture," says Mikael Lindfors, chair of the municipal council.
