    Because that would lose countless IT monkey jobs.

    I can't see how posting a parcel would be an IT job.

    Thusly why it's never happened. A Govt IT department is like a dodgy mechanic! "Ooooh *sucks air through teeth* Wireless network? Won't happen. Too many waves in the air, it'll get stuck!"

    If they stick a wireless network on - *I'll* shoot them...

    I think thats a bit unfair, most of the IT problems are caused by management and governments policies, made by people who clearly dont have a clue.

    No need to blame the guys on the front line lol

    I only base it on my experience of Govt IT! :D

    Most Government IT isn't Government IT. It's outsourced.

    Networking every will make access secure and fast. It's not going to shrink the number of IT jobs, and possibly they'll need a few more to maintain the additional links.

    It will however, cut down on the number of parcel posters. Or at least hopefully.

    I'm sure Mr Darling will have a few cunning stunts of his own.
