o And some took action, such as Botswana:o “We used the R10.00 tender price in South Africa to push
Bayer for a lower price (the new price should hopefully be implemented in the next 2-3 weeks). We are currently paying R99 per pack, but we have paid as high as R152 in the past. This will amount to a saving of around P10,000,000 per year.”

from better access … EU market would worth EUR 1.4 billion per year” – Graham Vickery
o And Open “Data-ness”o UK surgeons story on the OGP launch video as “Open Data
saves lives”
o dates back to 2005 and relates to FOI
o We are far from using the Web to its full potentialoWeb Architecture and not Web as file server
o Linked Data is a good tactic but it’s tough, needs improvemento It just doesn’t work
