Will Digital Britain survive the next election? - 10 Jul 2009 - Computing

So what is the role of Government in Digital Britain now? They are not going to fund it (yes they proposed the 50p levy but you can't really claim that is funding it), they are not going to adequately define it and (if this article is to be believed) the Tories are even thinking of not policing it (frankly that is laughable).

This is a matter for private industry to drive and deliver. Of course Government has a role but it is one that must be led by the private sector because, frankly, they have more chance of getting it right! It is up to us to take it out of the hands of politicians because if we do not we will suffer, our children will suffer more and our country will fall so far behind other global economies that it will be unrecoverable.
