Broadband tax

With a General Election having being announced, and parliament will be finished this week, all legistation that is going through has to be rushed so that it can become law. One such is the recent budget and the Conservatives have agreed to let the budget become law providing that three taxes are removed from the legistation. The one that will interest members is the so called Broadband Tax (50 pence a month?), that Brown & co, wanted to introduce. That has now been binned, (along with the 10% hike in cider duty.)

How do the Conservatives intend to finance faster broadband [which Labour decided would cost each telephone user 50 pence per month]?

Not too sure, but their argument is, I think, why should those who have no wish to have Broadband, have to pay a tax on something that they don't want? I have to agree if that is their argument. In any case isn't it the providers that finance Broadband, I was unaware that the government did?

In today's budget it has been announced that the so called Broadband tax is not going to be implemented as promised in the Conservative's manifesto.
