Today has seen the publication of a press release, Ministerial Statement from Andy Burnham, and a document giving an overview of responses to the original consultation. An initial glance (so forgive me if a more detailed read thows up further information) shows that whilst the main thrust of the government approach is made clear, there is still a long way to go on the detail.]]></description><link>http://www.convergenceconversation.com/posts/pamela.learmonth/andy-calls-time-on-product-placement8230-2</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.convergenceconversation.com/posts/pamela.learmonth/andy-calls-time-on-product-placement8230-2</guid><pubDate>Wed, 11 Mar 2009 15:24:36 +0000</pubDate></item>

		<item><title>Creating the digital citizen of the future?  Knowledge and confidence is key</title><description><![CDATA[The Government’s Digital Britain report rightly devotes a chapter to how you can “equip everyone to benefit” from the digital future. Whilst much of the commentary around the report has focused on infrastructure, broadband speeds and protection of copyright online, the important issue of how to drive take-up has been somewhat overlooked. Such an oversight would be dangerous. Without widespread take-up of broadband and the services which run over it, growth scenarios for the sector and the economy more widely will suffer.]]></description><link>http://www.convergenceconversation.com/posts/pamela.learmonth/creating-the-digital-citizen-of-the-future-knowledge-and-confidence-is-key-3</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.convergenceconversation.com/posts/pamela.learmonth/creating-the-digital-citizen-of-the-future-knowledge-and-confidence-is-key-3</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 Feb 2009 18:11:54 +0000</pubDate></item>
