TechCrunch backs the launch of The Coalition for a Digital Economy in the UK

I think it is great to have good initiatives..

but with the limited time I have been observing, there are more 'initiatives' I observe but most fizzle out..

we need to learn from success of GSM/ETSI where to get the buy-in of key stake holders... and comparative failure of most technology standards since (due to everyone wanting to lead the next GSM standard, like many variants of 3Gs, WiMax etc.)..

and it need to be persistent and long lasting..

good luck, hope the initiative will still be not only making noise but delivering in 3/5years time.
