Isn't Part Q up next, Broadband Access?

http://www.eden.gov.uk/council/techn.../broadband.pdf


Hmm. Some bureaucrat somewhere is living 20 years in the past. The ADSL
Forum always intended that all broadband access around the house was to be
by wireless links. Early ADSL modems used Ethernet or other links only
because wireless wasn't ready then.

On 11 Feb 2004 01:23:29 -0800, a particular chimpanzee named
(Dean) randomly hit the keyboard and
produced:

In short its an undenforcable regulation, but let's not forget, the
point is not to raises standards in the industry (if anything it will
lower them as the grey market gets bigger), but to raise revenue for
Mr Brown. It's a tax,

Can't see how. If we're talking about Building Regulations
application charges, then none of it goes to the Treasury (except
17.5% of it as VAT), it stays with the Local Authority.

Most domestic work doesn't make a profit for the Council, and if
replacement windows are anything to go by, the charge levied where a
B/Regs application is submitted will be a nominal one. It's most
likely that the vast majority of any controllable electrical work will
be self-certified, which means administration costs by the Council for
no fee.
