NZ Labour party is scary

I just had a brief look at the summary fo our govt.'s Digital Strategy. Even the title of of the summary is bad, "How will we make it happen". Without a question mark you might notice. I would have thought the nightmare state of the Russian economy at present would be enough to teach anyone the ills of a centrally planned economy. What the hell are these people smoking? NZ's IT infrastructure would take off like a rocket if the govt just got out of the way.
Here's a thought. Take all the money that's earmarked for these control mechanisms, and offer it as a subsidy to whichever ISP provides all you can eat 12 Mb/s broadband. Then just step back and let the market solve the problem. Govt, like management, is usually best operated by getting out of the way the those who actually get stuff done.
