replying to myself. Bad form. But I missed off this ref which neatly  
points out the low quality thinking in policy (and some academic)  
circles on these issues and gives a timely review of the evidence  
there is:

Firth, L. and D. Mellor (2005). "Broadband: benefits and problems."  
Telecommunications Policy 29(2-3): 223-236.
