Seen it all before! £100k's spent on blackberry projects for central and NHS trusts where the device was soon thrown to the back of a draw and never used again.

In general councillors seem to have difficulty with basic IT platforms such as email, combine the two and it smacks of failure before it begins.

and then add increased mobile phone costs! reported mobile costs not so long ago were £350k per annum.

This makes me wonder if any of them submit a P11D for personal use of the mobile phones or is that small matter just swept under the carpet.
