I agree with you, but I also think it would be interesting if they opened up data more like the transcribing of court appearances (a bit like the government), perhaps give data access to post codes (which is by subscription atm). How about more abstract things like data from speed cameras? I guess you could use it to calculate the traffic on every main road that has a speed camera.

There was a recent statement on the plans to open up more data sets - see http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/sites/default/files/resource...

so the public should subside your business by giving you free data - want to tell the pensioners come next election that their post office is closed so that two guys and a pantomime horse in islington can play at being a "startup"

I Dont think that David Cameron is that stupid - the libdems on the other hand.
