The Dutch government has designed a number of registries in which it believes it is possible to store all vital information about citizens, companies and institutions in a centralised manner.
Short summary
Due to the increasing number of government organisations in Netherlands and demand of handling business wherever and whenever from people, government decide to digitalise their services. Moreover, by designing Base Registry, government allows organization to share and reuse their information.
It has designed a number of registries in which it believes it is possible to store all vital information about citizens, companies and institutions in a centralised manner. Those responsible for the system assume that these so-called "authentic data" will be of such a high quality that the public authorities will be able to use them in their work without any further investigation. One of the most important concepts behind this idea is the mandatory feedback. If a customer of data from a key register has doubts about the reliability of the data, it may deviate from this rule, provided that these doubts, regarding the reliability of the data, have been reported back to the source owner of the data. The data will be annotated and the source will then investigate. In this way, a self-cleaning system is created.
This has a variety of benefits including reduction of administration burden for citizen as they do not need to provide information that earlier has provided for government.

A bill to amend the Telecommunications Act was submitted to the House of Representatives on 21 June 2011. It guarantees free Internet access, thus making the Netherlands one of the world's first countries to guarantee free internet access by law.
