Softening of the Working Environment Act is important and necessary and knowledge industries have gone ahead and shown flexibility and responsibility can actually be combined. How the law works today it is unfair that only those who have particularly leading and independent position who can work flexibly. Now there will be equal opportunities for all which is both fair and appropriate. – The Government should review the rules for benefit taxation of employer-paid schemes to adapt them to a modern and flexible working. This is music to our ears, and suggests that mobile and broadband tax before a fall, says Hoff.
Government will ensure access to high-speed broadband in the country, and for the first time becomes the target quantified at 100 Mbps corresponding neighboring countries. In addition notified the final national regulations dig for performance of broadband and along the way. ICT Norway is very concerned that the regulations will apply both highway and municipal road because a reasonable dig regulation will mean that the market will significantly expand high-speed broadband when digging costs account for 70-80% of performance of broadband. – That the state will now take overall responsibility for the availability of broadband is proactive and contribute to wealth creation and availability, says Hoff.
It appears from the platform that ICT will play a key role in achieving the efficiency of the public sector. It is very positive that the next government clearly signals a much stronger control of state and local authorities to ensure that all residents in Norway to have an entrance to the public sector. – It means “my side” is back, which just increase citizen service. It suggests that the government wants a public sector that is easy for users and smart on the inside, says Hoff.
Also in the health field, there is a definite change of pace to track: the blue-blue will make for an ICT system to ensure that all hospitals can communicate electronically and establish a funding mechanism for investment. – We are also very dissatisfied with the welfare technology is part of the new government platform, says Hoff.

ICT Norway posits that promise to ensure good conditions for energy intensive Norwegian industry and to ensure a good CO ? compensation for industry, will also apply to the new green energy-intensive data centers can be located in rural Norway.
When it comes to R & D contains a clear statement strengthened ambition, which is also a necessity if Norway is to manage the transition to a less oil-dependent economy. We also shout hurray for new initiatives that facilitate access to seed capital. – It is good policy and in line with our recommendation that this is now oriented towards the environments where innovation actually takes place, namely in our university cities, says Hoff.
ICT Norway heartedly that it conducted a status for the development of the emergency network with assessment of schedule, budget and performance. – ICT-Norway believes that emergency network could be saved, but it must be done both technological and political action to get a website that actually helps to strengthen preparedness and security throughout the country, says Hoff.
– Shall we put your finger on something that should be that ICT is not addressed as a separate industry, just as a problem solver. Will the next government succeeded in his project is the very dependent on having a strong and competitive ICT industry. When the travel subsidy and heavy industries are specifically mentioned, it should also be emphasized ICT. But we are confident that the ICT industry will be further developed as a national priority area, in order that the objectives the upcoming government has set shall be implemented.
– Now it remains to see if they manage to get to the good implementation mechanisms. The new government will have many challenges to embark in. It seems sensible to prioritize projects and project-oriented thinking. From experience, we are excited about the Council cabal because personal interests and ownership of various political issues have proven to be very important for the implementation of policy. A good platform has been added – now start the job, says Hoff.
