UK online http://www.ukonline.gov.uk/ Officially launched by Prime Minister Tony Blair on September 11, UK online is a partnership effort between the government, businesses, and trade and consumer groups "to make Britain a leading knowledge economy." This effort will include establishing 6,000 Internet training centers, creating a national online learning initiative (learndirect) that offers one million courses a year by 2002, increasing resources to help UK businesses get online (UK online for business), and attempting to place all Government services online by 2005. While many of UK online's features are still in development, the site does offer a number of useful resources at present. These include a listing of currently open Internet training centers, a number of online government services, and the UK online for business site. As UK online will soon serve as a single point of entry for all UK government information and services, any users who regularly access these sites will want to track its development.
