Why should this be central government's problem?

I am sure there is plenty of internet bandwidth crossing the border into Wales. The problem is that not enough local exchanges in Welsh towns are broadband enabled, and not enough cellphone masts have HSDPA equipment. (And there are not enough of them to cover all of Wales).

Both those problems should be resolved at a local level, not at a central government level.
