["ICT Support Officer" <ict@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My original post about how taxpayers' money is wasted brought about a good
response and I am so pleased. There has been so many of you with strong
hearts and most of all strong voice except for a minor few.

I would also like to mention LEA and their inefficiency providing support to
schools in terms of so called ICT. No doubt many of you are aware that
National grid for learning has been brought about and we seem to have some
compulsory broadband connections forced upon us. So far I found the system
unworkable because there are private companies involved. For example I
wanted to run the school web server from school but the ISP will not provide
a public IP address for the school. They also seem reluctant to re-root
requests through their DNS to the private IP range they allocated for us in
order to access school servers on any port. I proposed to my school
management but LEA IT department gave us a bashful

I could go on but my point here is that it is not just Open Source software
issue but other services too. Again we pay thousands of pounds for these
services but we do not get back all the services we want. !!!Wasting the tax
payers money issue here again!!!!
