Isn't that USO voluntary?

I agree with you, but this bit doesn't really describe how many people need to pay for broadband infrastructure installation.

- tialaramex 7y agoThe USO is mandatory but isn't funded yet. So, right now the regulator would struggle to rationalise say, fining the operator for not meeting it when they aren't given any money or any means to raise revenue to provide it. But in principle if you can imagine the British government ever doing anything again except arguing about Brexit they might get around to it. Don't hold your breath.
