The Department of Communities and Local Government is, apparently, in charge of the consultation over making OS data free.

The plan was of course that the consultation would begin “in December”.

December’s here and we haven’t seen much sign. Anyone else? We’ve put a call in to find out…

(If you need reminding about the case for making data free, see our other pages on the site, such as the articles page or the “Case for free“. Perhaps we do need to update them in the light of the studies of the past couple of years…)
