Your website … on a lamppost??

Yes really its true, not sure how this one came about, but this story came into the studio this morning a we thought you might it, so if you haven’t already got your internet presence then now is the time because soon it could be even more widely available.

Smart lampposts that could provide high-speed internet access are set to go on trial in Scotland. The idea will be piloted later this month in Dundee but could spread further afield.

Backers of the project plan to install six of the solar-powered, internet-capable lights on a rooftop at the University of Abertay.

Later in the year they plan to install up to 4,000 more in a student village to be built for the university.

The idea will combine lampposts with solar energy and wi-fi wireless internet access.

Councils could use smart lampposts to provide street light while selling internet access to local residents

Mary Cowie, director of the University of Abertay Centre for the Environment (ACE), said: "The pilot scheme will involve not only ACE but students from the University of Abertay who will be able to play a hands-on role in shaping the technology of tomorrow."

Green MSP Robin Harper said: "This is a truly exciting and innovative project with huge possibilities in sustainability terms, and in reducing environmental impact."
