As essential as electricity and water - that's how Britain's Prime Minister sees t'internet, according to a government-commissioned report outlining strategies for broadband and digital content, which is to be unveiled today. I'm sure Jacqui will be thrilled...
For anyone with an interest or career in digital content, this is definitely a welcome step in the right direction in terms of addressing the internet's influence... (and much more user-friendly than Brown's overly chirpy political broadcasts on Youtube of late, it has to be said).
However, it seems to be a case of one step forward, two steps back today, as a much less praise-worthy decision was also announced by the UK Government.
So Westminster's new era of transparency and accountability seems to have lasted all of a week - but they do appreciate the value of a good broadband connection.
