The UK government has announced that British homes and businesses will have a legal right to high-speed broadband by 2020. Broadband providers will now have a legal requirement to provide high-speed broadband to anyone who requests it, no matter where they are in the country.
The digital minister, Matt Hancock, said the rollout would not mean high-speed broadband was automatically delivered to every property. “It’s about having the right to demand it. It’s an on-demand program. If you don’t go on the internet and aren’t interested, then you won’t phone up and demand this.”
