the Ministry and IBM to promote the use of OSS within the administration.

08.>>>> Report backs cheap broadband for key workers

The Government should subsidise home broadband connections for
key workers, according to a UK think tank report. Broadening
Horizons: Why broadband matters, published by the Centre for
Reform and sponsored by NTL, argues that cheaper broadband would
allow teachers and doctors to work online at home, increasing
their efficiency as well as boosting broadband take-up.

09.>>>> Is wi-fi good for developing nations?
..(BBC NEWS: 27/06/2003)
The wireless web holds much promise for developing nations but
technology analyst Bill Thompson is concerned about the politics
of wi-fi. Campaigning for internet access in developing countries
can seem a bit of a distraction - the sort of thing that only
the technologically obsessed would ever care about.

are only 1,800 people living on this 260 square kilometer raised

thanks to the Niue Internet Users Society the islanders - along
with all tourists and business travelers - now have free access
to an open 802.11b Wireless Access Point.

12.>>>> E-voting does not work says the electoral reform
society
..( Electoral Reform Society press release: 20/06/2003)

participation to acceptable levels.

PUBLIC TRANSPARENCY, SECURITY AND DATA PRIVACY

experts say

Security experts today challenged Congress to do more to improve
the quality of the nation's software and hardware. "I need your
help," author Bruce Schneier told a House Homeland Security
subcommittee. "This is a political problem, not a technology
problem. I would like to see government use its purchasing power
to improve security."

LEGISLATION AND POLICY MAKING
15.>>>> Marketing and branding e-government: the
case of Spain
..(eGovernment Newsletter: 30/06/2003)
Spain's new visual image for its e-administration drive demonstrates
how e-government can help to foster the adoption of marketing
and branding techniques in the public sector
The Spanish Ministry of Public Administration recently decided
to give a new promotional image to the country's e-government
drive. This promotional image, consisting in a new logo that
will have to be used by all public bodies engaged in delivering
public services electronically, will become an element of identification
for all e-government activities, projects and measures in Spain's
central administrations.
