Digital Britain Implementation Plan

13/8/2009, updated 29/8/2009

Here is the August 2009 Digital Britain Implementation Plan [214 kB PDF]. It describes 18 projects, with varying degrees of sketchiness, and with occasional references to amounts of funding attached to different measures. The sketchiness stems in part from the fact that the different projects consist of actions from the June Digital Britain report, which were not organised into projects. The 18 project areas are as follows, and I've made bold those that I think will be of interest to readers of Fortnightly Mailing (you may also want to run your eye over Donald Clark's 29/8/2009 shot-from-the-hip comments on each):

1. Digital Economy Bill
2. Digital Inclusion/Participation
3. Digital Skills
4. Current and Next Generation Broadband
5. Spectrum Modernisation
6. Digital Radio Upgrade
7. Video Games
8. Illegal File Sharing
9. Contestable Funding
10. Public Service Content
11. Independently Funded News Consortia
12. BBC/Independent Production in the Nations
13. Digital Security
14. Personal Digital Safety
15. Online Consumer Protection
16. Digital Government (including establishment of "G-Cloud")
17. Digital Delivery Agency
18. Other Relevant Activity
