Locus trade association responds to Free Our Data
The trade association Locus has sent us a response to the campaign (which is only a month old). We’ve put it in an article: Locus responds.
Basically, they’re in favour – while recognising that having more data available at low or zero cost would mean more competition. But there would be benefits:
- end-consumers through new products and services at competitive prices
- the public sector through established and secure markets for their data, which are constantly innovating new ways of putting that data to use
- the wider UK knowledge economy
Seems like a good start to us. What are your comments?
