COMMUNICATIONS firm NTL Business has launched a new broadband guide for Yorkshire's small business community.

The initiative is aimed at increasing the take-up of high speed Internet services.

The guide launch follows an announcement that NTL is teaming up with Telewest to increase broadband take-up across Britain. The new, free guide will take homeworkers and small businesses through the what, why and how of broadband Internet.

NTL broadband services specifically aimed at small businesses start at £90 per month, and include Internet, telephony, e-mail and web space.

A free copy of the guide can be obtained by calling 0800 052 5923, or visit the website at www.ntl.com/broadlyspeaking
