You presume that a British school connecting up to the Internet will need to
make a local telephone call for the connection
(Feedback, 10 May, p 92). But any
realistic approach would use dedicated lines, and so be free of call
charges.
I am a not a Labour Party supporter, so this is not a biased answer, but the
Labour plan is to allow BT into the cable television market (which is a good
thing as it will bring competition into a market where there is none). In
return, BT will provide all schools and libraries with dedicated lines free of
charge.
