According to the Telegraph, the Church of England has offered the use of its 16,000 buildings to help the government meet its target of bringing superfast broadband to 95 per cent of the country.
The digital and culture minister Matt Hancock will meet with Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich Rt Rev Martin Seeley later this month to further discuss the plans.
"Nine out of 10 UK homes and businesses can now get superfast broadband, but getting to the hardest to reach places requires an innovative approach and a mix of technologies," Hancock told the Telegraph. "We're working with the church to explore how spires might form part of the mix and I am meeting with bishops later this month to discuss this."
The Church of England has said it is ready and willing to help.
