Yet another announcement which IMHO won't achieve the desired results.

Kind regards,

So the people who are currently most deprived (in terms of internet provision) will probably have to pay more to get up to a level which is still well below that enjoyed by most city dwellers.

Not this city dweller............

Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore deprived city dwellers.

Gentlefolk,

As an afterthought, and if the Telegraph have reported his pronouncements correctly as below:-

"Nonetheless, Mr Timms said that an announcement will be made before the general election about top-slicing. We've made our intention pretty clear, he said. If
there was to be a change of government, there would no doubt be a lot of things that were changed."

I think we all know there's to be a change of government very soon so why are national resources being used for a public relations exercise that won't be implemented ?

Kind regards,
Walter

That's a very good question. The answer is bound to be 'politics' in some way or other.
