Chancellor George Osborne has announced which cities will benefit from a £100m pot of Treasury cash aimed at making them "super-connected".
These are London, Edinburgh, Belfast, Cardiff, Birmingham, Bradford, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle.
He also announced a further £50m to improve net access in 10 unnamed "smaller cities".
Mr Osborne said that he wanted the UK to become "Europe's technology centre".

Another stab in the dark by the British government to make them sound impressive.
I don't understand how the infrastructure should be paid for by the tax payer? Luckily for me I'm leaving this Isle for further and better shores elsewhere at the end of the year.
Britain call me when you sort all the nonsense out.
