What is “Digital Britain” all about? The “Digital Britain” idea, is all about enhancing Britain's strengths in a crucial sector and harnessing new technologies to provide a fairer and more prosperous Britain for all. It was produced by Lord Carter the digital, the previous Minister for Communications, Technology and Broadcasting in the UK government.

The Recommendations: * three year plan to boost digital participation * universal access to broadband by 2012 * fund to invest in next generation broadband * digital radio upgrade by 2015 * liberalisation of 3G spectrum * legal and regulatory attack on digital piracy * support for public service content partnerships * changed role for Channel 4 * consultation on how to fund local, national and regional news * a new "more robust system" for the classification of video games
The Five Main Points By Stephen Carter 1)  Participation and engagement  2)  Infrastructure 3)  Content of Infrastructure 4)  The need for a Framework 5)  Government

However... How are we meant to teach parents these digital skills if the children of the digital era are automatically picking up these skills more quickly than the parents themselves? Even if the teaching skills are aimed at next generations parents and children, technology is evolving in the elite countries so quickly that children are learning new aspects of technology every day, therefore what has been taught to these future parents will be outdated. The youths of our society and culture and going always be relatively one step ahead of the adults.

But... Is 2Mbps really enough? In Japan, internet users have an average speed of 90Mbps Virgin media also offer super fast 50Mbps broadband in selected areas Even if we are all given this universal service, it will not produce a more fair digital society as by the time this service is produced, the majority of internet users will have a faster broadband connection than 2Mbps already. Also... how will this funding be operated? Do the public really want taxes to increase so that they can be given a universal 2Mbps speed when most of them will have a faster internet connection already?

The concern of the three strikes. Lord Carter wished to impose a “three strike” system where breaking the laws of the digital age three times, for example illegal file sharing, would mean that they were cut of the internet for a year.  Critics said that this would fail, and IPS's disagreed with this saying that it was the responsibility of the owners with the copyrighted material.  The government also disagreed with this saying it would be pointless. I fully agree with this as the mass amount of downloading programmes, websites etc. would be hard to follow and it would take a lengthy amount of time to figure out exactly how this system was to work. Also as technology advances, people could quite easily work their way around the system and a new way of obtaining music etc. for free would come about.
The government impacts on the digital economy in four ways: 1) In delivery of public services as a major purchaser of digital systems  2) as commissioner and holder of data 3) as commissioner and holder of content  4) as a strategic hub for the development of Britain's future digital strength Government and Ofcom will assess the scope to unify all groups such as “ digital switch over”  and  “Radio upgrade”  into a single digital delivering agency with greater capabilities and economies of scale. The government hope to work in partnership with the developed administrations to deliver a successful digital economy across the UK.
