At the same time as this is going on the UK is rolling out fibre to every home. I know of multiple people who live in the deepest darkest rural country lanes who are seeing 36x fibre COF215 drop cables strung up through the trees or trenched by the muddy roads. EE pioneered LTE cat16 at the end of the last decade in first and second tier cities right in time for iPhoneX to ship with support for gigabit traffic. It’ll be available in a field near you soon. There’s about to be an abundance of low latency bandwidth available to everyone. With all that connectivity you can start being much more creative about who provides your transport versus who provides your IP connectivity. VPNs are already becoming mainstream. Sounds like a positive way forward, right? The internet just routes around damage, heh, and laws that restrict what you can and can’t do can be “routed around” by terminating all your traffic in Dublin or Amsterdam. The trouble is that as it becomes normal for British subjects to export their traffic overseas then I can’t see HM Government policy avenue going anywhere other than all out war on encryption. Again.
