The wording mirrors that of the Tory manifesto The BBC licence fee could be used to fund the roll-out of superfast broadband across the UK.
Details of the plan were outlined in the coalition deal struck between the Tories and the Lib Dems.
It says that parts of the licence fee currently used for the digital switchover could be used to fund broadband, particularly in rural areas.
The wording is almost exactly the same as plans outlined in the Tory manifesto.
The previous government had proposed a "broadband tax" of 50p per month to pay for next generation services.
The Lib Dems supported the levy but it was dropped in the last-minute rush to push legislation through before Parliament was dissolved in April.
The Conservatives had always opposed the tax, instead preferring to allow the market to install services before government intervention. They had also outlined plans for so-called "top slicing" of the licence fee.
The new coalition document mirrors the wording of the Tory manifesto but is light on detail.
It says the new government will "ensure the rapid rollout of superfast broadband across the country" in both urban and rural areas.
It also says that it will ensure that equipment and infrastructure owned by BT and other telecoms firms can be used to deliver the services.
"If necessary, we will consider using the part of the TV licence fee that is supporting the digital switchover to fund broadband in areas that the market alone will not reach."
The BBC said it will issue a response shortly.
