"Digital technologies are rapidly changing every aspect of our lives. The world itself has altered with the advent of new digital technologies.

"It's now timely to reassess the Digital Strategy's goals and priorities, consider new developments, and focus on tasks that address the challenges of our new fully interactive digital environment," said Mr Cunliffe.

"The 2005 Strategy focused on three key enablers - connection, confidence, and content. The Draft Strategy includes a new fourth enabler, collaboration. The feedback gained during the consultation process will assist us to determine how all four 'Cs' can contribute to New Zealand achieving its digital potential and transforming our economy and society.

"The Digital Future Summit 2.0 in November last year challenged us to think harder about getting the full social, environmental and economic value from ICT. This draft Strategy therefore drives harder to define the productivity, community and sustainability outcomes enabled by ICT.
