Nic,

Can you point to examples of these "moves" in Europe? 

You ask why this isn't happening in the UK and the answer is fairly
simple.. because we aren't driving it through.

Personally I have some spare time and energy to devote to this kind of
work but it isn't always apparent which is the best direction to expend
that energy.

If you can provide examples of existing campaigns elsewhere that are
pushing for more open technology we can start to develop our own plan.

Thanks
