Darling puts emphasis on broadband for all
With the recent budget that has been announced, Chancellor Alistair Darling has reiterated the commitment from the government to make Britain one of the world leaders in digital technology. He plans to roll out a major change to the broadband speeds. Super-fast broadband will be available to 90% of homes by 2017 which will be backed by a £6 annual tax on landline phones.
This will inevitably create hundreds of thousands of new jobs and lower the cost of public spending, according to the chancellor. “The UK has the potential to be a digital world leader. It needs high-speed broadband for rural areas as well as urban, it must not be limited to the well-off,” the chancellor said in his budget speech.
It might be a surprise however that the Darling did not reiterate PM Gordon Brown’s commitment to bring super-fast broadband to 100% of the UK by 2020.
