The British Labour Party<\/a> appears to be starting its fight for the 2015 General Election early by launching a Digital Government review, which among other things will aim to update the relevant parts of their 2009 Digital Britain report that helped begin the national broadband roll-out strategy. But will broadband even play a part?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The original Digital Britain<\/strong> report covered everything from controversial measures for tackling copyright infringement (Digital Economy Act 2010) to fostering a Universal Service Commitment (USC), which aimed to make broadband speeds of 2Mbps available to everybody in the UK by 2012 (few viewed this as a feasible target for fixed line solutions and it was later delayed by several years under the current coalition government).<\/p>\n

The 2009 report also talked about fostering faster Next Generation Access<\/strong> (NGA) technologies, although both this aspect and an explanation for how the USC could actually be delivered in such a short timescale were never fleshed out in time for the 2010 General Election.<\/p>\n

But you know a general election is coming when political parties start adopting populist viewpoints on mass (more so than usual)\u00a0and that appears to be the thinking behind Labour’s plan for a new-ish Digital Britain 2015<\/strong> strategy.<\/p>\n

Chi Onwurah MP, Labour’s Shadow Cabinet Office Minister, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Labour\u2019s Digital Government Review will set out clear goals for a digital agenda that will improve services and empower citizens whilst being efficient and cost effective.<\/em><\/p>\n

Under the guidance of our Advisory Board and with contributions from a wide range of stakeholders across the country, the review will deliver a framework for transforming digital government together with concrete policy proposals to make digital services work for the many<\/em>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently this new review will look at how digital technology can improve both the effectiveness and efficiency of people-powered public services and develop a framework for powering digital government and “putting citizens in control of their relationship with Government, including their own data<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

On top of that an independent Advisory Board of “well-known and respected outside experts<\/em>” has been setup to help shape the policy and the list includes some familiar names.<\/p>\n

Labour’s Digital Britain 2015 Advisory Board<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

– Peter Ingram, the Managing Director of Touchstone Consulting Limited and previously CTO of Ofcom<\/a> and BT<\/a> Retail<\/p>\n

– Stephen King, a partner at Omidyar Network<\/p>\n

– Piers Linney, Co-CEO of the Cloud Service Provider, Outsourcery plc (also known as a Dragon on the BBC<\/a>\u2019s \u2018Dragon\u2019s Den\u2019)<\/p>\n

– William Perrin, the founder of \u2018Talk About Local\u2019<\/p>\n

– Cho Oliver, the Director of Liquid Steel and previously CIO of European Oil Trading at BP<\/p>\n

– Vicki Shotbolt, the founder and CEO of The Parent Zone<\/p>\n

– Jeni Tennison, the Technical Director of the Open Data Institute<\/p>\n

– Graham Walker, the CEO of Go ON UK<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However we were surprised to find that broadband, which played such a huge role in the original report and so should do once again in this one (perhaps a policy to fix the final 5%?), doesn’t even get a clear mention in Chi Onwurah’s<\/strong> comment.<\/p>\n

Certainly it would be nice if this time around they could offer a firm strategy to meet the EU\u2019s primary Digital Agenda<\/strong> goal, which aims for everybody to be within reach of a 30Mbps+<\/strong> broadband connection by 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
