Part of 2. Questions to the Leader of the House and Chief Whip – in the Senedd at 3:03 pm on 14 November 2018.
Yes, indeed. We're very keen on promoting it. In fact, if you visit Llandrindod Wells, you'll find that all the shops there have come together. You can log on to their internet as you go into the town and it tells you all the offers available and what shops are open and all that sort of stuff. There's a little closed WiFi area network that allows all of those businesses to come together. There are others around Wales—that's just one that's popped into my head as one I recently visited. We're very happy to facilitate that kind of collaborative working in order to make the best of the online presence. We also have a business exploitation team that follows the superfast Cymru roll-out. A big lightening bolt appears on your village green and people are asked and we have had very good take-up of that across Wales. That is aimed at ensuring that people don't just digitise their paper system, but that they actually understand the benefits of going online.
And, Deputy Llywydd, if you indulge me just for one moment, I'll just tell the story of a hotel in Wales that was very happy that they could just put vouchers—you know, wowchers and all those sorts of things—online to increase their capacity, but, actually, as a result of the business exploitation team, became aware that they could have all kinds of other digital experiences for their guests, that they could allow streaming from GoPros, that they could allow uploading of pictures and all the rest of it, and download Netflix, et cetera, et cetera, from their connection, and are very happy indeed that their business has gone from strength to strength. But it's not something that they would have thought of unless the exploitation team had gone in and shown them what could be done. And then, of course, it opens people's imaginations right up. So, we have a team specifically dedicated to doing that, and, if you want to put me in touch with any of the people you think would be interested, I'd be more than happy to follow that up.
