Rather unexpectedly, I was able to be present at, and to capture the majority of, this address to the attendees at OpenTech 2009 by Sir Bonar Nevill-Kingdom, self-described as “Her Majesty’s most senior civil servant concerned with Information and Communication Technologies (or “ICTs”) [and] the Prime Minister’s data-sharing czar.”
He discussed “The Three Pillars of Digital Britain” and the majority of the text of his address may be found here.
Due to the unexpected nature of this event, I regret that the very front of the presentation is missing and the video is hand-held. The Open Rights Group, with a level of foresight that has to be seen to be believed, has published a rather better recording of this event, and I am pleased to direct you to their version on blip.tv. Or you can watch my wobbly version below.
