2005 Digital Strategy

The first Digital Strategy was released in May 2005. It set out key government actions over the next few years where budgets had already been committed. It put in place a structure of three key enablers - connection, confidence and content and three key agents of change - government, business and community - for creating our digital future.

Significant progress has been made through some 70 government initiatives implemented as part of the Digital Strategy. These include investments in shared public sector networks; partnerships with businesses and communities to stimulate investment in open-access fibre networks and improving digital skills in the community; improving online security; and the launch of the Digital Content Strategy, and significant initiatives in broadcasting, including the launch of free-to-air television via the Freeview platform.
