Our Government is too busy bailing out banks / building societies to consider spending on infrastructure at the moment unfortunately.
As you rightly said the UK way is cheapest even if it's also the most short term solution. We are sadly incredibly good at short-termism here. Better to spend a billion now then 20 billion later than just spend the 20 billion and be done with it.
Plus we have Ofcom who are hardly the paragon of efficiency or virtue for that matter, along with a number of interested parties for whom the status quo is the best and most profitable way.
