Residents and businesses are being asked to share their views on the island’s telecoms services.

The 2017 Telecoms Survey has been commissioned by the Chief Minister’s working group on the national telecoms infrastructure for the Isle of Man.

It seeks feedback on a range of telecoms products, such as residential and business mobile, broadband and landline services.

The anonymized results will be used by government to help assess its performance and gain a better insight into public opinion.

Announcing the research, working group chairman David Ashford MHK said: ’I am keen to listen to a wide range of views.

’It is important that we gather evidence that can inform the development of policy and strategy from both a domestic consumer and a business perspective.

’As a digital island, we need to remain competitive, and telecoms play an important role in creating opportunities for innovation and growth, using technology now and in the future.’

The survey can be completed online by visiting www.gov.im/telecomssurvey.

In addition, paper copies are available from Government Office in Douglas, Ramsey Town Hall/Library, Castletown Civic Centre and Peel Town Hall.

The telecoms survey was launched on Tuesday (June 4). The deadline for submission is Friday next week (July 14).
