Rural broadband: Dave Reynolds on fast internet service

A fast broadband connect was "completely fundamental" and has changed the way a media firm based in Devon could work.

Dave Reynolds said his Teignmouth-based firm, Realm Pictures, had felt cut-off without the fibre optic links that now meant it could easily swap video files online.

He spoke on the day a Commons' Public Accounts Committee report criticised the way the government awarded contracts for extending high-speed broadband to rural areas and a two-year delay in completing the programme.

Mr Reynolds spoke to Jo Coburn on the Daily Politics over the internet.
