The Tories have published a "technology manifesto" which plans to boost the UK economy by introducing superfast broadband nationwide.
The party said it wanted to make the UK a centre of technological talent through the use of 100mbps (megabits per second) broadband across "most of the population."
The plans would see details of all public sector contracts made accessible online along with the salaries of the 35,000 most senior civil servants and council officials earning more than £60,000.
A new right of access to Government data and the publication of each item of expenditure of more than £25,000 would also be created.
The Tories said the proposals would help kickstart the economy by opening up contracts to more firms, improving accountability on public spending and encouraging technology entrepreneurs.
Shadow culture secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "We need to ensure we have a superfast broadband structure that gives the UK a competitive advantage over other countries. Our ambitious plans will make this happen."
They said the superfast broadband was 50 times faster than Labour's planned broadband network.
Stephen Timms, the minister for digital Britain, said the Tories would not fund the broadband scheme for another three years, while Labour would deliver widespread access to next-generation broadband by 2017.
"Labour's plans will see universal access to broadband by 2012, with 90% of UK households with access to next- generation broadband by 2017."
