"Indian prime minister Narendra Modi has marked the nation’s Independence Day by pledging to connect all of India’s villages to optic fibre within 1,000 days.

In his speech to the nation, Modi said than in 2014 just five dozen villages enjoyed optic fibre connections, but in the five years since another 150,000 have been connected.

Now he wants all villages connected inside three years."

Clean water is good in the UK, so tell me WTF is holding back UK Govt from getting rural (Tory voting!) areas being connected to fiber broadband?

It's about protecting the legacy:
