With the Australian Government moving ahead with national access card plans – the Australian Financial Review reported earlier this week on the search for a person/consortium to manage the project at around $1million a year – things may have taken a turn for the worse in the UK.
The Government there has initiated a further review, prior to final project definition, to then be followed by a tendering round, prompting The Register "Not delayed, not sleeping, dead - UK ID card scheme goes under" to conclude that the UK ID card project is now doomed.
Thanks to Pogowasright for the lead.
