Comment
The UK has no road system, no rail system and no airports of an international standard. If we finish up with no broadband it will be the final straw. The GDP is limited by the ability of bits and atoms to move. Limit either and vast incomes are denied. The road and rail limits alone are strangling the economy, and broadband is the only dim light. I can only hope it aint going to be switched off! Peter
