Digital Britain

Proceeding contribution from Anne Snelgrove (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 January 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Digital Britain.
My right hon. Friend will be aware of Swindon's historical railway village, and the fact that as it is a conservation area, people there cannot have satellite dishes or cable. How will he ensure fair access for my constituents, many of whom are on low incomes or are pensioners, given Virgin's virtual monopoly of supply via phone lines? How will he protect my constituents from high price increases once switchover happens?
