New homes currently being constructed for West Whitlawburn Housing Co- operative in Cambuslang, Glasgow, are having fibre optic cable installed that will provide next generation broadband access. The housing provider is also setting up a communication co-operative – owned and managed entirely by the community it serves – that will provide TV, phone and internet services at reduced costs in comparison with major providers.

Whitcomm Co-operative was launched at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh on Thursday, 13th November, 2008, and aims to reduce digital exclusion that compounds social exclusion. Through Whitcomm low-income families will be able to access the services that the majority of people take for granted.
