Minister flays Conservative Broadband Manifesto
The new ultra-fast UK broadband rollout proposals of the Tories included in their freshly released pre-election technology manifesto has been slammed by the Digital Britain minister of the United Kingdom – Stephen Timms.
The minister has attacked the fresh proposal of a nation-wide 100Mbps broadband rollout put forth by the Conservative Party describing it as a hopeless plan lacking funding.
Timms stated while commenting on the social micro blogging website Twitter that the broadband internet policy of the Conservative Party was hopeless. He added that minor regulatory tweaks in hand already was not the answer, as an immediate funding was the need of the hour.
It is also worth noting here that Francis Maude, the shadow cabinet office secretary had spoken last day his view that the Tories would be aiming at making the government of the UK, world’s most technology-friendly one, provided they won the upcoming election.
Maude further stated that for a long time they have been enduring a closed store government that used to keep information from the people, failed in stimulating innovative industries and wasted money on IT products that were gold-plated to cover their bloat and unnecessary existence.
