Subject: RE: BS: Broadband Tax... UK
Of course it will get lost in the great black hole normally dignified with the name "Treasury" (actually Gordon's campaign fund), but I think they are in for a shock. After all, the answer to it is already out there.

Look for a sudden increase in the uptake of:-

1). WiFi
2). Mobile broadband
3). Skype, and other VOIP.

Look also for news of a puzzled BT, asking why the government has decided to bankrupt their domestic trade, as they lose 60% of their fixed line customers to Sky, Virgin and VOIP.

New labour are salting away huge new borrowing, and stealth tax increases, so that they can have a bargain basement giveaway just short of the election.

Desperation rules!

But it's too transparent, too little, and TOO BLOODY LATE.
