Level Playing Field?

Digital connectivity must be a priority, with a proper plan to roll out networks, according to Onwurah. "I think we should be looking at fibre to the home, although that doesn’t seem to be BT’s view.”

As a former Ofcom bod, she is presumably aware of how much of the current network is actually fibre to the home and how much is copper. As she seems to think that the current network should be discarded and replaced wholesale, she will presumably call for Virgin and others to be compelled to cable up areas that are less populous than central London, Manchester, Glasgow etc.

I'd quite like to have choices in the smaller villages

Seems like another easy cheap shot - policy by sound-bite.
