Digital Economy Bill

Proceeding contribution from Calum Kerr (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 September 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Digital Economy Bill.

I absolutely agree with the hon. Lady on vouchers. My worry is that a USO through BT will have a minimum standard or that a satellite USO will just hit the minimum. With a voucher system, communities would be empowered to come together and could use it as a foundation to aim higher than 10 megabits and get fibre to premises. We must not lock the scheme down and restrict the creativity of people in our communities.
