I don't believe Cameron is proposing the Govt to foot the bill and/or to host the equipment; that will be foisted upon ISPs. Having said that some influential companies and government departments will benefit from said structure.
Thanks for clarifying that, this makes it easier to stomach.
There will still be a large expenditure on the side of the government, as is with most things in government. Such e penditure would be best spend influencing innovation and business, not requiring a sector to implement mandatory technology which probably has large costs.
It seems like the consumer will really foot the bill here. It seems a lot of decisions are made which cause the average joe to spend less, which isn't great for the economy.
