Gordon Brown seems to make pronouncements too soon. Witness the Iraq war enquiry. Private on Monday. Maybe not today. Then we have him saying he wants Britain to be the Digital Capital of the world. This is just opening the project up to accusations of failure. Why not just talk about the goal being to improve the broadband access across the country. It doesn’t mean we have to be the Digital Capital of the World. We just need better infrastructure to allow our digital industries and consumers to function. If other countries have as good, or better, digital access then more power to them. It doesn’t mean the UK project will be a failure. Unless you declare up front that the goal is to be the Digital Capital of the World!
