Businesses could soon benefit from faster internet as part of a new broadband rollout.
Shropshire Chamber of Commerce is supporting plans to introduce Amazon’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite broadband network, which promises speeds of up to 1Gbps, to the county.
Ruth Ross, chief executive of the chamber, has held meetings with Shrewsbury MP Julia Buckley and representatives of Shropshire Council to support the initiative.
Ms Ross said: "Connectivity is no longer a luxury – it is a necessity for competitiveness, education, and community wellbeing.
"This has the potential to be an exciting step forward for Shropshire businesses and communities."
The chamber has pencilled in a follow-up call with Amazon for late January.
