Affordable and reliable high speed Internet access is a key driver of the growing digital economy; some time ago, I pointed out the US definition of "broadband" to a number of providers in my country and not surprisingly, some chose to put themselves at a competitive disadvantage by stating that they do not have to follow such a high standard.
Also, the copper telephone network is riddled with geriatric faults and being used for applications it was not originally designed for - in the UK, it is due for retirement in 2025 and you have to be mindful of special applications such as monitored alarm systems.
