Connectivity, Content and Consumers: Britain's digital platform for growth, published by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, says that the government has 'put consumers at the centre of its communications policy'.
The strategy promises a crack down on nuisance calls, ending 'bill shock nightmares' and to protect children online. It also sets out plans for improving broadband connectivity and reducing the extent of digital exclusion.
It also reveals that a 'UK strategy for our digital infrastructure' will appear by the end of 2014.
A foreword signed by Maria Miller, secretary of state for culture, media and sport and Ed Vaizey, minister for culture, communications and creative industries, says that 'the UK has built strong digital foundations, and we are reaping the benefits, but in the face of rapid change, we cannot afford to be complacent'.
It identifies four 'areas for action': improving connectivity, creating 'world-beating innovative content', consumer safety and 'cost of living'.
However the Government Digital Service merits only one mention, in the context of its work on digital inclusion.
