Martha Lane Fox

In The Times this morning I was interested to read that Martha Lane Fox is launching her Manifesto for a Networked Nation today at Number 10.   Readers may remember an earlier post following the NAACE annual conference where Martha made a brilliant contribution.  Initially, there was the thought that the role given to her by Gordon Brown would be one of the casualties of the changes in Government, but back in June her role was confirmed by David Cameron and her remit extended to encompass functions previously held by OFCOM.

If you’ve got access to The Times the article was on Page 39 – I’d give you a link but you need to subscribe to be able to read the paper online!  However you can read more in The Guardian and The Mirror and the BBC.

Will she manage to get an extension of the Home Access scheme that will soon be coming to an end?  Follow Martha on Twitter and find out!
