It is neither morally acceptable nor economically sustainable to leave millions of people behind, unable to use Information and Communications Technologies to their advantage,"
"In today's society, access to information by all citizens is a right as well as a condition for prosperity.
Viviane Reding, EU Commissioner for Information Society and Media. 30/11/07
DC10plus is leading the way nationally and regionally to create a digitally inclusive society, where everyone has easy access to ICT skills, hardware & fast connectivity - and feels confident and at ease in the digital world“Digital technologies impact on almost every aspect of modern society, creating huge social benefits. They can improve how we work, how we are entertained, how we communicate with each other, the healthcare available to us, and how information and knowledge can be brought together and used for our benefit. We now take for granted the technologies that give us these new opportunities. Our lives have been transformed by technology”.
Right Hon Paul Murphy MP – October 2008

The Drivers for new approaches to Digital Regeneration
Economic Opportunity
Social Inclusion
Service Delivery
Environmental Opportunity
Service Delivery
‘Citizen centric’
• ensuring that public services are centred on the needs and experiences of citizens
• encouraging integration and responsiveness to the diverse needs of citizens - to be achieved through cross sector collaboration.
‘Transformational Government’ - Varney
Economic opportunity
Benefits of €35-85bn over five years could be generated if society would be made more inclusive, websites more accessible and broadband internet made available to all EU citizens.
£130 billion+ of UK business conducted over the Internet (2006)
7 out of 10 businesses communicate with customers via their website
17 million adults manage their finances online
50%+ of online 16-24 year olds use social networks
6.1 million ‘residents’ of Second Life
20.4 million UK homes have digital TV
Britons send 1billion text messages every week
Environmental Opportunity
“If we develop and apply ICT badly, it could add to the world’s problems. It could devour energy and accelerate climate change, worsen inequality for those who do not have access and increase pollution and resource use by encouraging ever more frenetic consumerism.
If we apply ICT well, the rewards could be enormous. It could help to enhance creativity and innovation to solve our problems, build communities, give more people access to goods and services and use precious resources much more efficiently.
We have the capacity - through our decisions on how we produce, buy, use and apply ICT - secure enormous social and economic benefits. These might include energy savings through monitoring and managing energy use, creating more efficient transport systems, reducing travel needs through electronic commerce, video-conferencing and other forms of electronic transactions. Producing fewer physical products that consume finite resources and increasing interaction between people and organisations”.
