One of the most important enablers of access to the "digital economy" is a broadband internet connection. Yet, even many government departments are faced with inadequate connectivity. The ACCC, for example, shares a paltry 4mbit connection between 600 staff members.
The "Digital Economy blog team" themselves have validated YouTube as an important part of the Internet. Employees at many government departments aren't able to view your YouTube channel because the site has been blocked.
How does DBCDE hope to bring the "digital economy" to Rural Australians when the government can't even bring it to its own employees?
