English: I found this really interesting, this topic of connectivity in the modern age, and there were a few things that clearly came out and that I will focus on. One of them was the shared masts element, where you don't have to keep, time and time again, putting up different masts to get the same result if one mast is shared by companies. The Minister told us in the discussions that we had that she had had talks with people in the Home Office so that they would do some futureproofing on those masts. We heard from EE that they were developing 40 new sites, and others were developing their sites, and that they were prepared to share those masts in those sites. So, I think it is important that we do that, because we have heard, and Suzy Davies raised it now, that people are concerned about the health implications of putting up multiple masts on multiple sites. So, maybe that would go some way to help with that. What we must do is make sure that all communities move forward together here. We can't have people left behind in what is now a digital age. I've had e-mails from people who are actually going somewhere away from their home in order to access some connectivity, just so that they can do that. I've heard about people sitting in their cars with their children, so that they can complete their homework. That is definitely not satisfactory. And we know that people are moving more and more to doing everything on their phones, and far less on their computers, and I suppose that we are all guilty of doing that. I know from experience, in covering my area in Mid and West Wales, that there are plenty of notspots, and I've got two phones, and they're on two different networks, but it still doesn't ensure that I have complete coverage wherever it is that I go. And even if I had all the networks and all the phones to go with them, I would still experience notspots. So, we really need to do something about that. We've heard from the providers, when they've asked the Minister for reduced business rates, and the Minister quite rightly said that that has to make commercial sense, that we can't just reduce business rates unless there is going to be a return for that subsidy - because it will be a subsidy into a private business - to give something back to that community. And in terms of small and medium-sized enterprises - and those are the majority of businesses that are in my area - they do have to have connectivity just even to start up. But if we are asking them to grow and to develop, there is no way that that can be done in a digital age without the high-speed connectivity that they absolutely have to have for that to happen.
Welsh: Roedd hyn yn ddiddorol iawn, mater cysylltedd yn yr oes fodern, a daeth rhai pethau'n amlwg ac rwyf am ganolbwyntio arnynt. Un ohonynt oedd yr elfen rhannu mastiau, lle nad oes rhaid ichi ddal ati, dro ar ôl tro, i osod mastiau gwahanol i gael yr un canlyniad os rhennir un mast gan gwmnïau. Dywedodd y Gweinidog wrthym yn y trafodaethau a gawsom ei bod wedi cael trafodaethau gyda phobl yn y Swyddfa Gartref fel y byddent yn gwneud peth gwaith diogelu ar gyfer y dyfodol ar y mastiau hynny. Clywsom gan EE eu bod yn datblygu 40 o safleoedd newydd, ac roedd eraill yn datblygu eu safleoedd, a'u bod yn barod i rannu mastiau yn y safleoedd hynny. Felly, credaf ei bod yn bwysig inni wneud hynny, oherwydd clywsom, ac fe gododd Suzy Davies hyn yn awr, fod pobl yn pryderu am y goblygiadau i iechyd o godi mastiau lluosog ar safleoedd lluosog. Felly, efallai y byddai hynny'n mynd beth o'r ffordd i helpu gyda hynny. Yr hyn sy'n rhaid inni ei wneud yw sicrhau bod yr holl gymunedau'n symud ymlaen gyda'i gilydd yma. Ni allwn gael pobl wedi'u gadael ar ôl yn yr hyn sydd bellach yn oes ddigidol. Rwyf wedi cael negeseuon e-bost gan bobl sydd mewn gwirionedd yn mynd i rywle i ffwrdd o'u cartref er mwyn gallu cael rhywfaint o gysylltedd, er mwyn gallu gwneud hynny. Rwyf wedi clywed am bobl yn eistedd yn eu ceir gyda'u plant fel y gallant gwblhau eu gwaith cartref. Yn bendant, nid yw hynny'n foddhaol. Ac rydym yn gwybod bod pobl yn symud mwy a mwy i wneud popeth ar eu ffonau, a llawer llai ar eu cyfrifiaduron, ac mae'n debyg ein bod i gyd yn euog o wneud hynny. Gwn o brofiad, wrth gynrychioli fy ardal i yng Nghanolbarth a Gorllewin Cymru, fod yna ddigon o fannau gwan, ac mae gennyf ddau ffôn, ac maent ar ddau rwydwaith gwahanol, ond nid yw hynny'n sicrhau bod gennyf signal llawn lle bynnag rwy'n mynd. A hyd yn oed pe bai gennyf yr holl rwydweithiau a'r holl ffonau i fynd gyda hwy, buaswn yn dal i gael mannau gwan. Felly, mae gwir angen inni wneud rhywbeth ynglŷn â hynny. Rydym wedi clywed gan y darparwyr, ac maent wedi gofyn i'r Gweinidog ostwng ardrethi busnes, a dywedodd y Gweinidog yn hollol gywir fod yn rhaid i hynny wneud synnwyr masnachol, na allwn ostwng ardrethi busnes oni bai fod rhywbeth i'w adennill o'r cymhorthdal hwnnw - oherwydd bydd yn gymhorthdal i fusnes preifat - i roi rhywbeth yn ôl i'r gymuned honno. Ac o ran mentrau bach a chanolig - a dyna yw'r rhan fwyaf o'r busnesau sydd yn fy ardal i - rhaid iddynt gael cysylltedd i ddim ond dechrau hyd yn oed. Ond os ydym yn gofyn iddynt dyfu a datblygu, nid oes unrhyw ffordd y gellir gwneud hynny mewn oes ddigidol heb y cysylltedd cyflym sy'n rhaid iddynt ei gael er mwyn i hynny ddigwydd.
