The DC10plus network welcomes the positive statements the interim Digital Britain Report has made with regard to addressing the Digital Inclusion agenda. The DC10plus network believes that the social, economic and environmental benefits of a truly Digital Britain should be available to all, and that gaps are closed rather than widened. We are also concerned that Digital Britain provides the same boldness in vision and action with respect to digital planning and infrastructure that previous generations did with utilities and transport. We have provided comment on the report specifically in relation to the proposed actions and the following key issues which we feel could be significantly strengthened in the final report;
- The benefits of investing in next generation infrastructure and the role of places
- The opportunity to include a return path in DSO
- The importance of digital in a low carbon society and economy
- The value of digital planning and the need for digital masterplans/blueprints
- The development of a relative rather than absolute measure for USO.
