The increasing demand for wireless broadband has been highlighted by the news that Scarborough wi-fi users will be able to go online in the harbour area.

It was revealed that the service has been made available as part of the Freebay wi-fi project, reports the Yorkshire Post, which appears to have attracted positive feedback.

Boat owner Andrew Fletcher told the paper: "From a boat owner's perspective I would use it all the time and can come to Scarborough and do business. We also use it for safety reports while boating."

Scarborough is reported to have made steps towards becoming a broadband capital within the UK, after introducing technology which offers the fastest internet speeds for business users.

Meanwhile, the inventor of the world wide web has told the BBC that the internet could develop much further - offering more options for broadband users in the future.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee explained that the internet is still in its infancy, with the possibility of all the world's data being made available to broadband users across the globe
