Delivering Digital Britain
Lord Carter @ NESTA

Twitter highlights...

@currybet: just settling down in a very packed and very hot NESTA room for #carter

“ Digital Britain - Lord Carter at NESTA” - oreillygmt

@sizemore : Asked to switch off our phones. Good luck with that. #carter

@dominiccampbell : Sat in one of those James Bond style overflow rooms at the Digital Britain talk at NESTA so no heckling from the back for me ;-) #carter

@dominiccampbell : Nice pain au chocolat #carter

“ preserving the rights of croissants everywhere" - kellypuffs

@kcorrick : #carter Carter now on.

@dominiccampbell : Carter: not Carter Review, rather Digital Britain report. Chose not to as is a report of government not TO government #carter

@korrick : #carter “it tries to work in the real world of how you can make real changes... given the limitations”

@rolandharwood: how can we actually make changes that will be implemented #carter

@dominiccampbell : (lots of chat about the process of the review rather than the review itself) #carter

@kcorrick : #carter “we hve tried to get people to come to the debate in an objective and analytical manner” we live in the world of the nay sayer

What about WriteToReply.org WriteToReply.org

@rolandharwood : people can make politics out of anything #carter

@digitalbritain : Watching #carter being very defensive on stage at NESTA (via web feed).

@sizemore : This Carter chap seems like a nice guy. Can't be doing with the Lord silliness though. Bit World of Warcraft. #carter

@innovationedge : Explaining issues around the timescales - too slow vs too fast and bad outcomes. #carter

@rolandharwood : acknowledged limited engagement so far. no mention of the issues yet #carter

What about WriteToReply.org WriteToReply.org

@delineator : #digitalbritain report didn't mention the Web, looks unlikely that #carter will either: http://tinyurl.com/dyeq24

@innovationedge : five things in the report - 2 missed . First item was infrastructure - producing a deluge of analysis #carter

@innovationedge : All digital infrastrcture has come about as a result of private and public cooperation (barring BT's initial network) #carter

@rolandharwood : cable companies are an example of bad policy leadership #carter

@innovationedge : Explaining his perspective - it's a short-sighted media debate that doesn't merit part of the debate re infrastructure #carter

“ better to be long-haired than short-sighted” - The Shifted Librarian The Shifted Librarian

@rolandharwood : markets vs government debate is too superficial #carter

@dominiccampbell : Sees debate on the access to web as missing point currently. public policy has failed to support the market to deliver in the past #carter

@BenjaminEllis : Hmm. Heavy defense of regulation by #carter so far. Bad news when you start by defending your own legacy, rather than looking at the future.

@sizemore : LC well into his stride now. Interesting stuff. Intervention required to kickstart innovation. #carter

@innovationedge : Inevitably a little bit of compromise. Neither tactical nor theoretical answer is entirely desirable #carter

@eyebeams : Don't forget you can comment on the report at http://writetoreply.org/digitalbritain/ #carter

@cian : Lord #carter has clearly taken his party political pills this morning.

@innovationedge : Third thing in the interim - is 'proficiency' - the legal sides. Where he is most looking for contribution and ideas #carter

So don’t forget WriteToReply.org OR The Fake Digital Britain Report The Fake Digital Britain Report The Fake Digital Britain Report

@rolandharwood : most in need of ideas around proficiency by which i think he means adoption #carter

@innovationedge : Acknowledges range of opinions - from wild west to something destroying our cultural industries. Sees legitimacy in both #carter

“ let the pilgrims and indians live together in peace and harmony” - romeo’smom romeo’smom

@kcorrick : #carter “there are a vast range of opinons on these issues” eg.from there should be no legal frameworks to this is a world of rampant piracy

“Arrrgh! | Pirates” - Joriel "Joz" Jimenez Joriel "Joz" Jimenez

@kcorrick : #carter “the two areas that the report missed was around digital government”

@innovationedge : Now speaking about digital government - the enormous array of good examples of digitisation of public services #carter

@billt : Aha - #carter has been listening to @tom_watson

“Tom Watson MP” - gallomanor gallomanor

@danmcquillan : A quick glance at tweets from Nesta's Digital Britain debate with Lord Carter - looks like tag will change from #carter to #getcarter ho ho

“Get Carter” - philld philld

@kcorrick : #carter what was the second thing that was missed, did anyone hear that?

I know I didn't just hear that! - WasabiDoobie

@jaggeree : Glad Lord Carter stresses interim report and that he wants to intervene in current hegemonies to innovate. Open out please #carter

@innovationedge : The universal obligation on broadband allows for greater freedom on PSB options - eg turning off analogue signal #carter

@dominiccampbell : Bit bored. Lord C so bloody balanced. A man for incremental change at best I feel. Don't feel he truly gets the web either #carter

@kcorrick : #carter creative industries not really being mentioned other than C4... so far

“Channel 4 Headquarters” - nick.garrod nick.garrod

@bennycrime : @sizemore pretty sure my virgin connection which is supposed to be 2meg only runs at around 20kbs #carter

“384k broadband on a train?” - charmingman

@innovationedge : Currently the only universal service obligation is 56kpbs - looking to change that to get a platform for digital government #carter

@sleepydog : Enjoying myself now #carter

@iancrocombe : #carter at Nesta, Carter talking about digital government and the public service obligation, 2mb is the basic level needed

@dominiccampbell : Digital government and digital public service delivery biggest opportunity for the Digital Britain movement long term (good good) #carter

“CIPEG E-Gov Research Tool Mockup” - justgrimes justgrimes

@innovationedge : Digital public services is the ultimate prize for the Digital Britain report #carter - gives power to the users

@rolandharwood : biggest prize of all is digital government but we need to sort out infrastructure first #carter

@jmcesteves : “Aggressive first amendmentists”, Lord Carter said? Sad, sad, sad days for freedom of speech in the UK :o( #carter #digitalbritain #nesta

@kcorrick : #carter “did I think tht this would be a perfect summary.... no I did not”

@innovationedge : Did I think this was a perfect summary of a digital nirvana - no I did not! #carter

@anonymoustom : Aha, good: digital government. No digital switchover for public services unless universal 2MB. #carter

@cian : You can't have analog turn off of govt. Services w/o universal access to digital. That key point was missed from interim report. #carter

@loudmouthman : #carter , can someone please switch on their mobile phone and fire up QIK so I can watch it please ? this Live stream is like 1998!

“Mobile Webcasting” - stevegarfield stevegarfield

@rolandharwood : he's obviously been reading his critics. good for him #carter

kcorrick : #carter “yes I thought it could make a positive contribution...”

@mobbie : three P's of #digitalbritain from #carter Poetry Plumbing and Proficiency

@innovationedge : Did I think it had the potential to double the size of the existing economy - yes. #carter The difference is the atmosphere of the debate.

Which is why we need to be constructive on WriteToReply and The Fake Digital Britain Report The Fake Digital Britain Report The Fake Digital Britain Report

@kcorrick: #carter Handing over to the panel.
