Government Scraps Broadband Tax
By Kris Daniels on November 11, 2011.
The Government has scrapped its controversial 50p per month broadband tax, as it looks to push the Digital Economy Bill through parliament ahead of the General Election.The 50p per month tax on all landlines was proposed by the Government last year in an attempt to bring "next generation broadband across 90% of the UK by 2017."
However the tax was met with fierce opposition from industry and the Conservatives, who promised to scrap it if they came to power in favour of private investment.
