Universal 2mbps Broadband Costs To Add £6 Levy Per Household

Our Comments

One of the arguments used by the government to justify the tax is that the price of phone service has been falling down significantly over the last few years. The monnies collected by the ISPs and phone providers will be paid into a Next Generation Fund which will be run by the Telecommunications watchdog, Ofcom.
