Policies as a rule are never thought by government, regardless of what party is in power. Has SG government policy on broadband been reviewed by experts?. Policy failure isn't an act of god, more the inability of politicians to understand the basics.

Govt sets direction and priorities. That was my experience when an MP. Why is rural left behind for wired and wireless? Policy choices of successive govts - a focus on population coverage over geography, and an unwillingness to invest (partly due to lack of understanding, yes).
-
I am sorry but you fail to understand my initial comment, the lack of thought put into policy, the complete lack of any mechanism to review policy before it is enacted. All governments ,regardless of political colour make the same mistakes.
-
A generalisaton that doesn't altogether fit this policy area. The programmes are going to hit their targets. It's a failure of ambition, and of understanding the importance of connectivity, not of policy execution.
-
It is a generalisation, yes underpins my point. Are you telling me, the Scottish Government policy on broadband has been created by experts, and reviewed as well, for effectiveness?
-
Of course experts are involved. I'm sorry but it appears you do not understand how broadband policy and funding works from a UK level.

Attacking the "Nat Tax" didn't work out for them, So it's back to broadband.

Dear
@Rachael2Win Why was broadband coverage so low in Scotland when Tories were managing rollout & has increased at faster rate than Tory-run England since SNP started managing it? Why was broadband coverage in the Borders only 39% under Tories & is now 80% under SNP?pic.twitter.com/xHW4n6XFZu

@Rachael2Win two days now that you have said something that has been proven to be wrong think it is time to research before hitting computer keys. Telecoms=RESERVED means UK GOV responsibility NOT SGThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
