I’m just so behind the times… it turns out that e-government is dead. According to Helen Milner, the managing director of UK Online Centres (yes, apparently they are still going), writing in the new Development Plan for her network:
The time has come to reposition the network, building on its strong foundations of community learning and social inclusion and developing its role to support transformational government (‘t-government’, formerly known as e-government), a major programme to modernise and transform the way government interacts with the public and delivers its services.
So from here on in, it’s t-go….. actually, no, forget it.

Always good to see a meaningful expression turned into claptrap by someone who wants to stamp their mark on the language. Bravo, Helen Milner.
