Everyone's favourite Twitterer Stephen Fry has laid into the Digital Britain report, according to Broadcast, questioning why anyone would need to be taught how to use the internet when we're all getting along just fine, thank you very much. He is right, of course (should that be 'as usual'?), and is to be commended for asking just what problem the report was supposed to be providing a solution to - especially in light of recent reports that even Lord Carter admits it doesn't touch on consumer issues. Which begs the question - if it's not about consumer issues, what is it about?

If you've been asleep, the Digital Britain Framework outlines the government's vision for the future of broadband in the UK, including some aspects of the content provision.

You can read the report at the site, and leave your feedback. It's your chance to have your say - positive or negative - about this important paper, so don't miss out.
