UK opt-out villages plan?

In light of the growing frustration from rural areas about current broadband connections, is there a bigger plan we know nothing about ....

Could it be that the plan is to remove rural areas entirely from the NGA agenda by filling them with the digitally reluctant and internet paranoid who Martha Lane-Fox fails to convert? Thereby diluting yet further the rural voices of those desperate to get a 21st century communications connection.

This Google opt-out village video may explain everything.....

We think there could be yet more social issues that could be dealt with in this way after the 2010 election...what do you think?!

I am all for growing your own, but it would be very funny to see people in the google village feeding their families themselves. Bet most folk wouldn't last a week. Would cure obesity though, maybe all the fatties could pay to visit for health cure? No couch potatoes if there is no tv or computer. Sounds like it could cure a lot of our social problems actually...
... and all us rural broadband campaigners can move into the cities and have good connections and fatcat wages for writing reports. Aye, let the townies grow the food and feed us for a change. We could do it like wife swap. We run the country, they feed us.
Hm.
no actually, lets leave it as it is and JFDI all ourselves.
