Timms handed IT role

As the new minister of state for e-commerce, communications and information industries, Stephen Timms MP, the former chief secretary to the Treasury, will lead on IT industry issues as part of his wider role as minister of state for competitiveness.

John Hutton, secretary of state at the newly formed Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR), announced the appointment as part of the ministerial line-up on Wednesday.

Recognised for his knowledge on IT matters, Timms was minister of state for e-commerce and competitiveness at the Department of Trade and Industry between May 2002 and June 2003. He advised Labour's information society policy forum in opposition, and has been honorary president of the Telecommunications Users Association and a member of the council of the Parliamentary Information Technology Committee.

Prior to his career in government, he worked for 15 years in the computing and telecommunications industry, with Logica and, later, Ovum.

When all is said, if Microsoft produce the best product people will buy it and thats a good thing. If people have to buy their product because no one else can produce an alternative, only because interoperability protocols are kept secret, then thats a bad thing.
