UK Broadband Tax on the ropes
The proposed 50p broadband tax looks to be in trouble, with a cross party group of MPs calling it “unfair”.
The tax was designed to help fund the development of next generation high speed broadband services but now looks to be unlikely to ever be made into law. So what does this mean for the future of high speed internet access in the UK?
For starters, it looks increasingly like the burden of providing high speed internet access, and specifically high speed broadband services, is going to fail on the private sector. If there is genuine demand for high speed internet access, then companies will develop solutions to service the need for high speed internet connectivity.
Even if the broadband tax does make it through to law, this centralised approach to delivering high speed broadband would undoubtedly lead to long delays, with the roll out of a truly high speed broadband network nationwide already at least 10 years away.
So where does this leave UK business? Specifically businesses needing high speed internet access to trade, to maintain a competitive edge?
There are a number of ways in which high speed internet access can be achieved, as ever the key factor is cost. Leased lines provide reliable high speed internet connectivity, although the lead times for installation can be long and the set up and rental charges can be very high.
