"Unless the US plays ball, I think servers around the world will start to pack up by February," said Mr Wyatt, who will next month lead a delegation of MPs, including the e-envoy, Andrew Pinder, to Washington to press the case for reform.

The MP for Sittingbourne and Sheppy, who launched the Sky Computer Channel for BSkyB after a career in publishing, also hit out at the Florida governor, Jeb Bush.
