Re: Countdown to high speed broadband for all begins

Companies pay the tax owed it�s up to governments to set the rules.

If company taxes like corporation tax go up, then that cost is simply passed on to the consumer as an increased price. This is particularly true of things like iPhones where they�re not a commodity and you can�t simply buy an iPhone from another vendor.

Even if we did have higher tax revenue, it�s highly unlikely it would be spent on broadband rather than health or education.

I agree about tax and said as much in my previous post. However, companies can choose to play nicely with the tax system and not go out of their way to put profits where taxes are low. Some companies would play on that as them being more moral than others but it has to be a trade off for "superior morality" against shareholder profits.

As far as iPhone you are correct but it is possible to move to Android - the problem is the companies also do all they can to tie you to their ecosystem to make that more difficult but there are alternatives to iPhone that can be much cheaper.
