It's getting ridiculous now! Earlier we had an image of comrade Corbyn looking ministerial with the headline Will Jeremy Corbyn's long march lead to power? Now we've got this latest free give away. I have no doubt next Labour's BBC will be promoting a 2 for 1 free offer. get a free train set with every free lap top or some such nonsense. It's reached the point where i hope everyone realises it's all nonsense.

I noticed yesterday the increase of the BBC pro left rhetoric
They don't seem too enthusiastic about JC wanting to nationalise BT, it got a fairly frosty reception on the news.BT, BR and the PO were *all* the same in that regard. All with a monopoly and no way anyone was ever getting fired there was no incentive for any kind of timely service.
Why anyone who remembers what they were like wants them renationalised apart from buying off the unions I have no idea.

5G will make the wired network obsolete
The data travels between the nodes via the fibre network? Yes, the individual mobile operators could build a stand-alone network each but that would be a bit silly, much like the era of railways competing by building lines between the same places.Burwood said:

Free wifi for everyone? What will the fallout be from that? Thousands of job losses, a hefty sum to privatise BT and a piss poor service.
It's all getting a bit surreal and dangerous.
fking lunatics.
I don't think that's quite the intention.It's all getting a bit surreal and dangerous.

king lunatics.But instead to provide a minimum service to ensure everyone has access to what is almost an essential service today for job hunting, government applications and, most importantly, education.

Why not free electricity, free water, free housing, free transport?
Socialist utopia here we come....

Oh joy, back to the delights of waiting 6 months for them to lower themselves to be bothered to fulfil your request for a line move...only now with your broadband.

I remember those days too. My parents having to plan their move around the utilities.
Apart from the various business competition rules this infringes, the huge of number of people it will make unemployed at the independent communications companies and the lack of co operation between the people who invent the tech and the government that will follow this is a monumental dangerous policy.
This is the policy of a party that it believes it will control EVERYTHING. And anything that doesn’t tow the state line will be deleted. The threat to freedom of speech this idea encapsulates makes clear Corbyns and McDonnells threats to the media down through the years. What they have in mind with “state internet” makes Mays ludicrous porn ban seem as harmless as a crumpled tissue. Given the majority on the election thread for a conservative government this place will be boarded up very quickly for a start.
I have said it from the very start about Corbyn and his acolytes. Have a look back through history and it’s very obvious the direction they want this country to go in. If you want to vote for these lunatics then enjoy it because it may well be the last one you get for a very long time.

This is the problem with state control. You get Corbyn's version of what you should have (and pay for one way or another).
A free market is driven by what people actually want and are willing to pay for.
State controlled telecoms was dire as a few others here will remember. You got one wired phone, and for a long while one style of phone only which you rented. It took ages to get anything done.
Free broadband is simply not needed. Everyone has a phone these days, with enough data to do everything "essential".
