I think it speaks volumes for the digitality of these agencies that the COI
press release housed on the BERR website has a bad link to the actual
Digital Britain forum site. Which is, perhaps, why there are no comments on
the site itself yet. Or are they afraid to let the comments go up
unmoderated?
One further point, about accessibility; I just can't hear what Lord Carter
is saying on his YouTube vid. Can't they find anyone to record sound
properly?
Here's the correct link to the Digital Britain comments site;
http://www.digitalbritainforum.org.uk/
And what do people think on Twitter?

Further to today's Digital Britain news - I have no idea who runs
wired-gov.net (an odd URL for an official UK site, surely) but they've
announced 'Digital Britain discussion site goes live':
"A new internet discussion site to encourage an online debate about the
Government's vision for a fully digital economy and society was launched
today.
Minister for Technology, Communications and Broadband, Stephen Carter
said:
"We understand that there's huge interest in the Digital Britain report and
have already seen a flood of comments posted on various websites and blogs.
So today we are opening up our own online forum for the report,
imaginatively titled digitalbritainforum.org.uk."
