IN a major announcement last week, Labour set out plans to deliver fast and free full-fibre broadband for all, by bringing parts of BT into public ownership and creating a new British broadband public service.
As Jeremy Corbyn said, these plans can be central to transforming our country and economy, “bringing communities together in an inclusive and connected society.”
Specifically, it was announced that the next Labour government will undertake a massive upgrade in online infrastructure, delivering fast, secure, reliable internet connections for everyone and putting an end to patchy and slow coverage. This will boost 5G connectivity across the country.
