Well if the government wants you to file your accounts and tax returns online, they need to make sure there is an internet connection at a reasonable price in the same way that they make sure everyone has access to a postal service.
My farmer chum, Tom Jones (no, not that one) tells me that he constantly has no end of forms to fill in and they all have to be done on the web.
And being a farmer up one of the more remote valleys of North Wales he doesn't get adequate internet access so in the end the government department responsible have to send someone out to help him put the data onto forms because the average Welsh upland farmer isn't that familiar with the level of IT required, have the equipment or connection.
Actually, they have to send out two people. The first one usually can't speak Welsh.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
