Pumping money into broadband services is an investment in a country's infrastructure.
This is according to Edd Dawson, editor of broadband.co.uk.
He said: "It's a way of giving an alternative investment in your country's infrastructure. Countries that have a joined-up strategy are really going to reap the rewards. In the UK it is currently all a bit piecemeal."
Mr Dawson added that there is consumer demand for fast broadband, which could improve access to telecoms services such as VoIP.
He also said that more action needs to be taken to roll out this technology nationwide, rather than only in rural areas.
In order to achieve this, greater effort to secure resources to fund the implementation must be made, the expert suggested.
Last week, Alistair Darling announced in the pre-Budget report that the government plans to introduce a 50p per month tax for anyone with a landline phone.
The money generated from this scheme will be used to help roll out new broadband services.
