      @em_cooper it makes some sense to me: - the expensive bit is the infrastructure, not actually running it - it makes sense for the government to invest in the infrastructure - so then why hand it over for private firms to profit on after

    @em_cooper and if you have it run & provided by the state, then better to pay for it by taxing Internet firms who benefit from the UK having better internet, than by billing individual households (and so leaving the poorest unconnected)
