The Digital Muddle-another missed opportunity for Digital Britain
Wednesday, 17 June 2009 09:59.Well, I suppose that I am one of the lucky ones! I was able to download my 3MB file on the Government's much hyped "Digital Britain" in about 30 seconds.

A big focus here is to be power consumption and smarter monitoring of technology in buildings.

It seems as though infrastructure has moved up the agenda this year so hurrah!. The trouble is it’s only 4th behind security.
