Fortunately someone already has, the reason that all the 100 exchanges in
cornwall, bar one right on the border at the tip of N cornwall, are being
enabled is because actnow are doing something to fund it. Also, ADSL isn't
the only option, Concept Group[1] offer wireless broadband packages that can
reach areas other broadband offerings can't, and there are a couple of other
options as well.
