[open-government] Economic Benefits of Open-Data - Presentation Ideas for City of Montreal

Thu Oct 28 06:42:30 UTC 2010

Hi Jonathan,

I often use the 2008 figures collected by the Constitution Unit at the University College London for the cost of servicing Freedom of Information Act requests in the UK i.e. the costs of maintaining a closed system of £38,000,000. Although FOI requests can sometimes be for information that cant be released to the public domain.

Cheers

Julian Tait
