Government 2.0: The Government as a Platform

Neat idea. Now go convince those who make money out of privileged information that this is a really good idea.

Reminds me of the cases of life insurances and real state business as explained in Freakonomics: "experts" are usually just people with privileged information. For them to give it up, something aweful (from their perspective) must happen, like the internet. Perhaps there is hope.
