If it's used to upgrade rural and remote access to a reasonable speed, it could be a useful thing. But it won't be, it will be used to increase the existing fast urban services even further. Remember the internet is not entirely about spotty nerds downloading porn and blagged pop songs- it's also an essential business tool. The result will be an acceleration of rural suburbanisation as even more businesses move to the towns merely to survive. Fewer jobs for rural young, they are even less able to afford the house prices, more Chelsea tractors, villages dead during the day, shops and pubs close, end of community. It's already happening, but there aren't any votes in the countryside.
