Spot on. Sad but true, and we will work to make it better, never fear. Read the whole report when you get a minute and there are bits of silver lining.

If we stick with the legacy copper nobody will want to wait for our content to be delivered. As more countries (who haven't had the benefit of such a brill telephone network) lay fibre to the home, we will find ourselves left in the slow lane. We won't be world leaders, and someone should point out to Gordon that he has been misinformed if he thinks we can achieve this with adsl in any variety.
If he wants true digitalengagement and a digital britain he has to support the people who want it too. And that isn't the telcos. They only want profit.
The tax on fibre has to be taken off in order to roll it out to the people. 40% of the people live in 90% of the land mass. The distances involved make it un-viable for anyone to provide whilst the tax is on the lighting of it. That is why vast ducts full of the stuff remain dark.
