We have lots of fibre here, all it really needs is to be "joined up".
Instead of giving cash to snakeoil sellers this is what should be done.

Join up the mans to other fibre and lets build ourselves a real network out of the bits we already have.
It's the job of the minister to formulate policy and give direction. So do it.

Do we want to be stuck in sub 1-3mbs land forever?
This is actually a national crisis, we need to think forward, like the rural electrification schemes of old, the EC thinks that FTTx is a priority.

Hmmm....not sure I agree with you 100%

We have LOADS of fibre - loads and loads and loads of it - but nearly ALL of that fibre is in core trunks, less is in distribution networks and very very little in the access network - the access network is the key here...
