Why do we have to pay for service?

LETTER: Like many I have no computer so am excluded from getting much information, entering many quizzes etc.It's not just my choice, it's like many people, I can't afford one nor have the service to support it. I don't even have a mobile phone.

Do I miss them, not really, but I'm angered by the Government. I've been forced to buy a service to cover me for digital television.

Now I have to pay £6 per annum towards others being able to use broadband, wherever they live. If they and firms want broadband let them pay, leave us, who don't really have a choice, with the £6 in our pockets to use as we need.
