Digital Britain Unconference West Midlands (Birmingham) May 12, 2009

An opportunity to talk about what a Digital Britain should mean.

To produce a response to the Digital Britian Interim Report. by coming up with our own suggestions for actions, against the govt's five objectives (below).

Digital Britain: Five objectives

* Upgrading and modernising our digital networks – wired, wireless and broadcast – so that Britain has an infrastructure that enables it to remain globally competitive in the digital world;
* A dynamic investment climate for UK digital content, applications and services, that makes the UK an attractive place for both domestic and inward investment in our digital economy;
* UK content for UK users: content of quality and scale that serves the interests, experiences and needs of all UK citizens; in particular impartial news, comment and analysis;
* Fairness and access for all: universal availability coupled with the skills and digital literacy to enable near-universal participation in the digital economy and digital society; and
* Developing the infrastructure, skills and take-up to enable the widespread online delivery of public services and business interface with Government.
