Government: good and bad
Government: good and bad


Government is good at collecting data, especially
where the market would not (e.g map data of
remote areas — rarely visited but matter in
emergencies or to small groups)
Government: good and bad


Government is good at collecting data, especially
where the market would not (e.g map data of
remote areas — rarely visited but matter in
emergencies or to small groups)


Government is inefficient at using its data. Tide
tables, map data, weather data and other
information can be mixed together by people who
know how to use it to create new sets of information
- “mashups”.
The problem: licences


Crown Copyright is designed to be restrictive: it was
introduced with printing.
Licences can be expensive; confusing (restrict use in
a world where easy flow of data matters) and cause
delay (they make what should be fast, slow).

Without licensing and charging, there would be
faster movement.
We propose: no licences; no charges. Make up the
difference from the tax revenues generated by new
businesses and the expansion of existing ones.
Other countries have done it

Money’s being left on the table
And it actually costs money

Last year, an economic study by private consultants
found that confusing government policies were harming
a business worth billions to the economy every year.

Government agencies often use their limited funds to
collect, manage and distribute the data. This drives
some agencies to adopt pricing policies that ‘over-
recover’ the cost of producing information,” says the
report's author...

Government agencies often use their limited funds to

Spatial Information Business Association.
Generating wealth from free can be done


The Global Positioning System (GPS)

cost to install: $8.5bn
cost to run: about $750m annually

Revenues generated from GPS units, services etc:

“global turnover for satellite navigation products in
2001 amounted to €15 billion and is expected to rise
to €140 billion by 2015. In 2001 approximately 30%
of the global revenues were generated in Europe.”
Paid-for creates economic friction


A local authority may end up paying multiple times
for data it has generated — meaning taxpayers pay

1: planning application site map from OS (£25)
2: local council pays for map base (payment to OS)
3: personal taxes (half of OS revenue is from tax)
4: OS and Post Office creates Local Land and
Property Gazetteer (LLPG) from local authority data
provided free
5: person checks application using postcode search:
local authority charged per click (from local taxes)

  • 3. Government: good and bad Government is good at collecting data, especially where the market would not (e.g map data of remote areas — rarely visited but matter in emergencies or to small groups) Government is inefficient at using its data. Tide tables, map data, weather data and other information can be mixed together by people who know how to use it to create new sets of information - “mashups”.
  • 4. The problem: licences Crown Copyright is designed to be restrictive: it was introduced with printing. Licences can be expensive; confusing (restrict use in a world where easy flow of data matters) and cause delay (they make what should be fast, slow). Without licensing and charging, there would be faster movement. We propose: no licences; no charges. Make up the difference from the tax revenues generated by new businesses and the expansion of existing ones.

  • 26. Paid-for creates economic friction A local authority may end up paying multiple times for data it has generated — meaning taxpayers pay 1: planning application site map from OS (£25) 2: local council pays for map base (payment to OS) 3: personal taxes (half of OS revenue is from tax) 4: OS and Post Office creates Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG) from local authority data provided free 5: person checks application using postcode search: local authority charged per click (from local taxes)
