Digital Britain report 'sprawling and unfocused'
Tuesday 23rd June 2009, by Daniel King
A recent paper aimed at addressing broadband and digital services across the UK has been described by one expert as "sprawling, unfocused and fairly impenetrable".
The Digital Britain report, which was published on June 16th, was designed to look at the level of options available to people across the nation and consider ways in which the integration of web-based products could be improved for the benefit of the public.
But a spokesman for Drowned in Sound, an interactive online magazine that specialises in music news, reviews and opinions in the country, has said it was largely unsuccessful in dealing with the many issues it may have initially sought to address.
Sean Adams, founder and editor of the site, said this was mainly due to the fact it attempted to cover so much without applying specific focus to any one area that was in need of attention.
"It covers a lot of complex and conflicting issues, many of which it would seem present a dangerous opportunity for creatives to be lost in the politics of big business and populist election campaigning," he explained.
He went on to say that it was obvious no government would want to enter a debate about censorship in gaming, music and film as their value to the British economy is too valuable.
The Digital Britain paper was unveiled by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, as well as the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform last week.
