Car free Sark goes Wireless

Horse-drawn carriages may still be a main mode of transport in Sark, but the island hall has become a hotspot for the latest technology.

Sure, the new brand for Cable & Wireless, has created a wireless ‘hot spot’ where residents and visitors can now surf the world wide web for free using a wireless-enabled laptop.

Simon Elmont, engineer for Sure in Sark, said that the hot spot is already in great demand.

“The island hall is the hub of Sark, and now there are often people sitting around with laptops browsing the web. I am very glad that they are taking advantage of it.”

In addition to this there is now an extra location for people to top-up their Sure mobile Pay as you go accounts. The Bel Air Inn is joining Gallery Stores in offering the service. Sure Mobile Pay as you go customers can also top-up online at www.surecw.com or by calling (01481) 700700.
