This tax is nonsense to begin with. They say the money is needed to build the next generation internet, but if they simply mandated private industry did the upgrades by 2020, then the companies would simply increase their prices to cover their costs...
And the taxpayer could stay out of it.. Only those of us using the internet would pay for the upgrades.
But the truth is, the 50p tax is just the start. Given a few years it would be a good £5... easy
