Survey: Information society IT use - what do politicians think?

IT&Telekomföretagen has previously published a "Roadmap for Growth and Prosperity", and is now following it up with a survey of the seven parliamentary parties, the Pirate Party and the parties' youth associations. The aim was to find out their attitudes to IT use in around ten policy areas, their priorities and any differences between the generations.

IT&Telecom companies have previously published a Roadmap for Growth and Prosperity - an updated IT policy. It was well received in all quarters. It raised hopes for greater activity on the use of IT by the information society from the political parties.

We are now approaching the 2010 elections, and a new government, regardless of color, will have to prove itself. We see it as important to map out how the parties and blocs, prior to the election, view priorities and ambitions with regard to pushing for continuous modernization of Sweden, so that the conditions for growth and welfare are strengthened.

That's why we asked the parties, and their youth associations, for their views on some 20 different issues. This publication summarizes the results. We look forward to supporting - and scrutinizing! - how a new government lives up to what they said in the survey!
