Phone line tax

(1/2) > >>

Gentlefolk,

I am relieved to see at

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/8606373.stm

that

..... the government to backtrack on plans to levy a 50p monthly charge on landline phone bills - due to come into force in October - to pay for the universal roll-out of broadband.

which I think is in agreement with the results of the recent Parliamentary Enquiry on the subject.

Perhaps we can now approach the provision of a nation-wide high speed broadband communications network in a logical and efficient manner without additional Governemt agencies being created, and without additional administrative costs on the Telcos.
If we are to build a high speed rail link it will be done as an entity rather than piecemeal, so why should our communications infrastructure be any diffferent?

Kiknd regards,
Walter
