Government-led initiatives to foster use of faster broadband

New applications and services for Government

• Through the ‘Open Door to Innovation’ initiative, with support from the ICT Ministers Group, ICT Chief Executives group, and the ICT Council.

Better access to government data

• Users will be able to directly download data and directories, enabling them to develop a wide range of online services and tools.

Increased use of the web channel

• The Rethink Online programme will reduce fragmentation and increase coordination of online services between agencies.

Centralised ICT services, business processes, and information

• Deliver frontline services where they are needed most, at lower cost through one.govt and Infrastructure as a Service.

Other ICT initiatives now possible with faster broadband will develop within individual agencies.

• For example, within NZTA, MSD and DOC.
