Super fast broadband can help to ease the frustration that the recent heavy snow has caused rural communities.
That's according to Gordon Brown who commented on how the digital revolution would allow those in isolated areas to work from home during such times.
By investing in super-fast broadband now, the UK would gain access to internet speeds up to 50 times faster than those most commonly available today.
Mr Brown commented, "Such advanced communications will encourage more employees and employers to make greater use of teleworking, which can deliver benefits both to the firm and the worker".
