Reboot Britain

http://www.rebootbritain.com/

There is a lot of good in here (among the usual waffle) - particularly in the essays: http://www.nesta.org.uk/assets/Uploads/pdf/Provocation/reboot-britain-essays.pdf

Interesting to read some of the speech by Martha Lane Fox, our government appointed Digital Champion (at least it's not Czar!) regarding starting at the bottom:

"We are really going to focus, I hope, on the six million that are at the bottom of the pile. Partly because that's the right thing to do and partly because we know quite a lot about these people - who they are and where they live.

"It should matter to all of us because 80% of government interactions are with the bottom 25% of society. By keeping that 25% offline you are inherently keeping the cost of government high."

Ah... so this is all about saving the government money. Enter your staggered comments here...
