Re: Broadband Tax
If BT was a nationalised company I could understand it, as everyone would have a BT phone line. In that scenario it would be up to the government to inject funds (sought by tax) into said company for us all to have the same standard of service.
As it is, we have a competitive market where people choose the deal that suits them. I have a package with Tiscali that serves me brilliantly. My friends have a similar package with Sky. If I wanted a more luxurious broadband package I would pay more per month. As Less pointed out, it is up to the directors of each private company to decide what services they will offer.
How can it be legal to introduce a monthly tax on everyone that benefits private companies?
