Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Atlantic Telecom in Internet trial

ATLANTIC TELECOM, the supplier of fixed radio access telecom lines in Scotland, is to trial new technology that would allow it to offer high- speed Internet services to its customers. The company is starting a trial in July with technology supplied by RDC, an Israeli group, that supports data speeds of up to 3.2 Megabits per second - more than 50 times faster than a conventional modem. If successful, the service could be available by the end of the year.
