• If given the green light from the authorities in the UK, Faroese Telecom is ready, willing, and more than able to transform mobile phone and internet communications in Orkney and Shetland, the chief executive of the company has said.

Also in this week’s paper:

• A new tidal turbine, which is to begin testing in Orkney soon, has been hailed a potential “game changer” by a Scottish Minister.

• A Kirkwall woman has claimed she has become a prisoner in her own home, due to her neighbours’ antisocial behaviour.
