Miserable public isolation – who is holding back?

Who is holding back - governments or banks?

Needed for accelerating citizens' use of government e-services:

1. That the public sector realizes that it is not the only service citizens use - and in fact one of the most infrequently used and then

2. allows and encourages citizens to use the so frequently used familiar and secure e-banking log-in-id also in the public sector (banks can provide it also to those who do not use e-banking or have accounts)

- thus achieve a order-of-magnitude faster take-up

- get high citizen satisfaction

- save very substantial amounts of tax payers money

- avoid humiliation with failed smart card schemes

Why not? How long will tax payers allow this miserable isolation to continue?

Good point. Never thought about that. Banks should be also really interested.
