Ofcom isn't to blame

No, I don't think it is Ofcom's fault. The point I was trying to raise is that it is very, very expensive to get good quality broadband into the most rural areas. Private businesses won't provide broadband to these areas and it would be expensive for the government to do so. Although wireless technologies such as WiMax could change that dynamic. In terms of other countries, their populations are spread differently (in geographical terms) and this changes the cost of broadband delivery.
