Given the cost of rolling out fast (2mbps) broadband to all including those in rural areas the Digital Britain Report (DBR) recommends that there should be a monthly levy on everyone with a landline, of 50p to go some way towards paying for it. Ok so that’s only £6 a year but I dont see the Government offering assistance to mobile networks to ensure the country has total 3G coverage instead they raised £20bn from the sale of licenses and the regulators are constantly looking for ways to take money off the mobile operators. Anyone would think BT is still nationalised.
