UKonline have launched their latest piece of research ‘Economic Benefits of Digital Inclusion – building the evidence’ following the Digital Inclusion Conference on the 29th April 2008.

This research summary begins to break down the specific benefits and associated savings digital inclusion could provide for five core groups – individual people, private sector organisations, the government, society and the wider economy.
The report was well received at the Digital Inclusion Conferece – ‘Reaching the final third’ which included the following speakers, Minister for Schools Jim Knight MP, Fabio Colassanti, from the EU-E Inclusion Directorate, Baroness Andrews, OBE from the Department of Communities and Local Government and Paul Murphy the recently appointed Minister for Digital Inclusion.
You might also be interested to see some of the press that has already come out of the event and cited the research.
