Digital Britain: good or bad for CIO's?

Scanning through the Digital Britain report the following recommendations seemed most relevant to a corporate CIO working in B2B rather than B2C:

1 - Intellectual property protection - bad, in that if your staff use your network to abuse intellectual proeprty, the risks grow.

2 - Universal broadband - good for homeworking staff in marginal locations, bad for cost (we've got around 500 copper lines installed - £3K a year)

3 - Public service content - good to the extent that these improve government to business (G2B?) services 

4 - Wireless infrastructure - good promotion of extended 3G / next generation coverage

5 - BBC - good extension of the BBC's role as content provider - they are surely the UK's content provider of choice
