A History of Pioneering Communication Technology

Cornwall has played a key role in national and international communication for over 300 years - and it's still very much at the forefront today.

Today Cornwall’s businesses have been quick to take up the opportunities offered by the convergence of telecommunications and the Internet, as well as large investments in transport infrastructure.

Cornwall will be the first county in the UK to take advantage of superfast broadband - ensuring coverage to businesses and making it one of Europe's best connected regions. At the same time, improved air, road, rail and sea links have made access to national and international urban centres easier than ever.

It's often said that 'modern communications have led to the death of distance'. This is especially true with Cornwall, and our pages on Superfast Cornwall and Transport explain why.
