The implementation of next-generation super-fast broadband will require the help of the government if it is to become widely available in the rural areas and other faraway regions of the country, according to Rowland O'Connor, editor of broadband provider reviews website Broadband-Help.com.
"Without centralised legislation, broadband for rural communities simply cannot be delivered in any significant way," Mr O'Connor said.
Mr O'Connor went on to say that the previous government had talked a lot about enabling next-generation access in the countryside, but that access to broadband in those isolated areas is still very limited.
He said that still in 2010 many rural areas in Britain don't have access to even a basic two megabit per second – high-speed internet connection.
His comments followed plans announced by the secretary of state for culture, Olympics, media and sport, Jeremy Hunt, for three market testing projects to bring super-fast broadband to rural areas.
