Date posted: 24/02/2009 Lord Carter has been defending his report into the state of digital Britain and in particular his decision to set a 2Mbps baseline speed for UK broadband. The decision to offer a minimum of 2Mbps was necessary to kickstart the movement of government services online, said Lord Carter. It was "not an option" to leave people out of the digital revolution, he said. "Those who say that a Universal Service Obligation of 2Mbps is a ludicrously low ambition miss the point. "There is going to be 30% of the country not covered by traditional markets and I'm not prepared to leave them behind. It is not an option to say that we will find a mop-up solution in 10 years' time."
