London (CNN Business) The UK's main opposition party has promised to provide "fast and free" full-fiber broadband across the country by nationalizing parts of BT Group (BTGOF).

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is expected to say in a speech Friday that if his party wins the December 12 general election, the public service will bring "communities together, with equal access, in an inclusive and connected society."

The plan to nationalize parts of Britain's largest broadband and mobile provider follows previous Labour pledges to take ownership of other utilities including the railways and postal service.

It would see a Labour government take control of BT's telecoms infrastructure arm, Openreach, and form a new public entity known as British Broadband. It is unclear how Labour would pay for the nationalization.
