[LINK] Government services via the web in regional Australia

[Tom Worthington]

My notes for the 4th Annual Web Content Management for Government, in 
Canberra, on 17 September 2007 are at 
<http://www.tomw.net.au/technology/it/regional_web.shtml>. Comments 
and corrections welcome.

I will be talking about how to deliver government services via the 
web in regional Australia. This is one of a series on ICT for a Civil 
Society 
<http://www.tomw.net.au/blog/2007/09/ict-standards-for-civil-society.html>.

"Several new wireless technologies are being introduced to regional 
areas of Australia. With a few small changes to their web sites, 
government agencies can optimise their service delivery over these 
new delivery chains. Smart phones are now readily available in 
agencies and companies, but are being used for little more than 
reading email. These can be effective tools to address rapidly 
emerging situations, such as influenza pandemic. Australian 
governments are addressing a critical issues in remote indigenous 
communities. Provision of government services, information and 
education via the web can supplement and support other delivery mechanisms.

        1. Optimising web sites for new wireless regional networks
        2. Smart phones for managing pandemics
        3. Services for remote indigenous communities online
        4. Using the web to reduce regional carbon emissions"
