I am excited to announce that Labour will deliver free full-fibre broadband to all individuals and businesses by 2030: fast, secure, reliable internet connections for everyone. bbc.co.uk/news/election-…
The government will own the network that is rolled out, making it better planned, better coordinated, and able to reach everyone, including rural and remote communities.
To deliver on these two missions we will set up British Broadband, a new public entity that will bring Openreach and broadband-relevant parts of BT into public ownership.
We will pay for this through our Green Transformation Fund and a new tax on multinationals – so the tech giants like Facebook and Google will pay a bit more so we all have better internet.
This is what real change looks like. It is essential modern infrastructure that will empower people and create great jobs.
