The Digital Britain interim report sets out a lot of aims, but few concrete solutions.

some good ideas but how can you plan to implement technology over a 3 year scale? By 2012 2Mb/s may as well be 56K

Technology is something you plan and do ASAP due to the speed of development. By 2012 this plan will be old fashioned and out of date.

Agreed, even on an iPhone on 3G, i still consider 2Mb/s to be a bad reception.

If they consider 2Mb/s to be sufficient for many years to come, it really says something about the people who wrote this report.

Have they ruled out increasing the speed if technology allows them to?

I'm sorry - this is a waste of time. I've got some friends who don't have a computer, don't want a computer - I've even offered them one for free and there still not interested. Why would they want broadband???

By all means make it cheaper for those who want it but can't afford it, but forcing it on everyone is not right.

BT and UK goverment take the complete piss by aiming for 2Mb/s for this country. Once a great nation, once a leading nation in the world, now left in the dust of most countries...

Would like to see anyone else do a better job than he is currently doing, if anyone knows about money, it's him.

Sorry, but rubbish.

Despite being Chancellor for 10 years, he's a politician with a professional background in politics, and a speciality in political history and biographies. He is not an economist, not a banker and not an accountant. I qualify on two out of those three.

It's precisely because he was Chancellor for 10 years, and bigged up his competence despite not knowing his elbow from a hole in the ground that we're in the mess we're in now. "Abolished boom and bust" indeed.

There are a LOT of people that know more about money than him .... including my cat. And I don't have a cat.
