Ten-year plan for ID cards

The UK Government has unveiled its 10-year plan for introducing ID cards. This is fast work – it’s only 3 weeks since they passed the Bill! The Register is sceptical about the plan. It’s been prepared too quickly and with too little thought or consultation. Given that this is probably the largest IT project ever undertaken anywhere, proper planning will be crucial if it’s not to fail or go hugely over budget and time.

Of course, I won’t be shedding any tears if the whole thing falls apart, but I don’t want to see the money wasted.
