Mobile UK is calling on the Government to fund Digital Champions for Local Authorities as part of its upcoming Digital Economy Strategy. This initiative would provide local authorities with the funding and support they need to become more digitally- literate and innovative. Mobile UK believes that this will create new jobs, support economic growth, and improve public services.
