Yeah. add to that...

Broadband for all by 2019.
Broadband defined as 256kbps down.
EDGE qualifies by definition.
EDGE found on 95% of all phones sold today.
Pats on backs all round.
Proceed to golf courses/family trips (courtesy of tax-payers) to Europe over the next 8 years.

They did their work so who are we to complain, right?
