There are calls for the government's controversial broadband tax to be scrapped.
Thinktank Policy exchange argues that there are better alternatives to the levy, which will charge every UK landline £6 per year.
The body has called for a new Public Access Division to be established, charged with spending £300 million creating broadband hubs in libraries, community centres and Post Offices.
These concerns follow worries voiced by the Conservatives who say that the fee will cost UK businesses £70 million a year and push small companies into the red.
However Labour say that the £1 billion fund generated from the tax will help boost rural areas broadband access.
