U.S. Government to Improve IT Transparency

Expand Post »
President Barack Obama's administration made two announcements Monday about improved transparency in government: one about IT projects in general, and one about improving broadband access.

The announcements were made at the Personal Democracy Forum, in New York.

Tuesday, White House Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra and White House New Media Director Macon Phillips are expected to demonstrate an Internet-based interactive dashboard to provide data such as goals, schedule, cost outlays, key personnel, contractors employed, and where the effort stands in real time about every major information technology project pursued by the federal government, according to National Journal Online.

In addition, the Federal Communications Commission's Blair Levin reportedly announced broadband.gov, which will be live July 2 and will be a beta version of the plan the FCC is required to provide to Congress by February on how to provide universal broadband, according to the Tweets of a number of people attending the conference.
