WTF?

Is the target obsurd?

Full disclosure, I'm not a fan of Mr Johnson.

Why is FTTP the target here? Wouldn't it be better to set targets based on speed, availability and latency?

Perhaps there is a new rural economy that will be enabled by ultra-fast broadband to every premises, but I'm struggling to see it. I'm sure most people would be happy if they had a connection that was reliable, and they could stream Netflix in HD without having to buffer the stream every other minute.
