The government's strategy was issued late yesterday, without fanfare, by
the Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts, Daryl
Williams.

Mr Williams' report comes on the heels of a paper by the Productivity
Commission warning that federal government intervention has little impact
on the productivity generated from the use of information and
communications technologies.
