Labor promises free broadband for all British homes

He Labor Party has promised that if he wins the next elections on December 12 he would nationalize parts of the telecommunications provider's network BT. This operation would be sustained thanks to a series of taxes on technology companies such as Google, Amazon and Facebook and using the Green Transformation fund.

Labor intends to nationalize Openreach, the digital networks division of the country's largest mobile and broadband provider, as well as parts of BT Technology, BT Enterprise and BT Consumer.

The Labor leader, Jeremy Corbyn, assured last Friday that “it is time to make the fastest full fiber broadband free for everyone, in every home and in every corner of the country.”

“By creating the British Broadband "As a public service, we will lead the world in using public investment to transform our country, reduce people's monthly bills, boost our economy and improve people's quality of life," he added. "What was once a luxury is now an essential service," Corbyn stressed in his speech.

For its part, the Conservative Party discredited the British Labor electoral proposal to nationalize broadband internet access.

Almost 18% of households expressed little or no satisfaction with pay television, once again positioning itself as one of the services that causes the most dissatisfaction. Pay television is once again one of the services that causes the most dissatisfaction among households, along with electricity and fixed broadband, according to the results of the Household Panel of the National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC) corresponding to the second quarter of 2019. In this way, almost 18% of households expressed little or no satisfaction with pay television. In the case of electricity and fixed broadband, dissatisfied households were 17.5% and 17.2% respectively. Mobile telecommunications services are those that have the best user ratings: the percentage of dissatisfied consumers is around 11%. As has already happened in other waves of the Panel, the data indicate that the main reason for household dissatisfaction with the services is their high price, especially in the case of electricity and gas services: this is the reason given by 93% of households dissatisfied with the electricity service and 87% of households dissatisfied with the gas service. In fixed broadband services, the second reason for complaint is the lack of quality of service (for example, due to supply interruptions) and in telephony the poor perception of customer service. Data from the second quarter of 2019 show less user dissatisfaction with service prices (with the exception of electricity prices). The CNMC Household Panel also collects information on the number of complaints. As has been happening in recent years, the service with the most complaints is fixed broadband (15% of users have complained at some point in a year while a year before that percentage was 17%). Regarding the reasons for the complaints, the main complaint is billing problems, which confirms the trend registered in the last waves of the Panel. However, in the case of fixed broadband, the main reason for complaining is the lack of quality of service (54%) (Source: CNMC)Pay television, electricity and fixed broadband, the services least valued by Spanish households LaSexta AppLaSexta launches a free application with all its live videos and audios Broadband connections in Latin America (Source: Dataxis)46% of households in Latin America will have fixed broadband in 2023 Hispasat and Eurona join forces to universalize broadband access in rural areas The quality of streaming video, key to customer loyalty in mobile broadband Default ThumbnailAlmost half of European households with broadband already have a smart TV Fifty countries are already prepared for the distribution of 4K content over broadband Default ThumbnailIndustry will allocate 52 million to aid to promote the extension of high-speed broadband 63% of households with broadband in the US have at least one connected television Default ThumbnailSix out of ten households with broadband in the US already use connected television Impact of OTT services on broadband The CMT improves the technical conditions for the provision of broadband services by alternative operators The Uruguayan government reallocates part of Cablevisión's spectrum for mobile broadband Alcatel-Lucent demands European harmonization in the deployment of broadband for TV
