RE: [Sheflug] Re: Would you like Broadband for Britain?

[Craig Andrews <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A small point, but a very valid one. The situation is not the some are
'allowed' broadband, while others aren't, but that the technology is
simply not available in those areas.

Admittedly BT may not be the best company in the world, but to get ADSL
to every home in the country has to be quite a task to undertake. I
don't pretend to know exactly what needs to be done, but...

Fact is, it's not a case of being allowed or disallowed, its just a case
of time. Broadband is still in its infancy in Britain, and BT, Telewest,
or whoever can't be expected to provide immediate access to any tom,
dick or harry just like that.
