Nishma from the Open Rights Group sez, "The Public Data Corporation consultation could mean access to public data is restricted only to those who can afford it. This could mean that data on weather and climate through the Met Office, data on land ownership through the Land Registry and data on mapping and planning through the Ordnance Survey is locked away behind a high pay wall. Access to that data, partially funded by taxpayers, should be accessible to those who data it is – the public. The Consultation is due on Friday, so there's little time to be wasted. The site allows you to find out more, write your response, and what to say in it."
(Thanks, Nishma!)
