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.

CABLE &WIRELESS Communications (CWC) is today set to announce a deal to supply Vodafone with additional network capacity as the boom in mobile phone users continues.

The contract is worth more than pounds 100m over the next five years to CWC, which is spending pounds 400m upgrading its national network. CWC said its upgraded network would be capable of dealing with the next generation of mobile phones that will be able to offer video and high-speed internet access.

Vodafone, the UK's biggest mobile phone group, is also due to reveal its fourth-quarter customer figures tomorrow.
