Can't see how the government spending almost £1 Bn on this is going to
generate too many jobs. Most call centres etc seem to be located abroad
anyway. It will be great for on-line gamers and people who download massive
files. I can't understand why the Government is so keen to promote it. Am
I missing something here??

It costs around £5 for a local council to deal with a question by post.
If it's done via a web site it costs less than 20p. The government wants
everyone to use the web so they can shut down the expansive support
services used by fewer and fewer people.
