From Hansard:
Hywel Williams: People without access to broadband are as excluded and disadvantaged as their counterparts in the 1950s who scrambled around with candles and kerosene lamps while everyone else had power at the turn of a switch.
I am a great enthusiast for the internet, but the description of it as merely being a more efficient way of delivering gossip and pornography is not entirely unjustified. I can't lay hands on the reference, which irks.
