UK Broadband Provisions under Intense Scrutiny by Parliament
The Parliament is all set to begin investigations into the Digital Britain report’s levy idea to see if the customers will actually get what they are being asked to pay for. Internet service providers are also going to come under the investigation to make sure that they provide the broadband speeds they are promising – click for a broadband speed checker.
The Parliament’s official website, www.parliament.uk has reportedly said that that the examining committee is intended to certify whether the 2MB speed that has been promised to every user, will bear any fruitful results by 2012. Another task that the committee plans to take up is to assess if the Government’s plans for the next generation access are realistic or not. This is because the Parliament wants to ensure that the Government is not under-prepared or lacking in terms of ambition.
This investigation is going to take some time to reach any definite conclusions because the Parliament is still in the middle of collecting evidence, which is scheduled to be over by the first week of October. Meanwhile, Lord Carter’s report is going through a scrutinising process, with new assessments being made every day.
Although the Government is trying to devise methods to bring the benefits of the digital revolution to the masses, there has not been a mention about the need for better upload speeds.
