Can't see how the government spending almost £1 Bn on this is going
to generate too many jobs. Most call centres etc seem to be located
abroad anyway. It will be great for on-line gamers and people who
download massive files. I can't understand why the Government is so
keen to promote it. Am I missing something here??


Some people clearly agree with you. ;-)

"Superfast broadband will mean that Britain could be having the most
nauseatingly idiotic conversation with itself just milliseconds after
someone has failed to read beyond the first paragraph of a news story
about immigrants."

The author obviously hasn't read The Daily Mail online reader comment
columns.
