• Germany: The Open Data Network Deutschland offers an online catalogue of comprehensive databases of information on public government, libraries, science, research and politics.

• Singapore: The eCitizen website, which offers more than 500 online services, was one of the first public portals organized around “life events” (e.g., birth registries, primary and secondary school services, job-search and career services, housing aid and retirement services) rather than by department. The site has sections called “towns” dealing with elections, libraries, sports, recreation and travel (ibid.: 18).

• India: “The government of India has placed kiosks connected to the Internet in hundreds of small towns so that rural farmers (can) get information about crop markets. The information helps farmers negotiate better prices with middlemen buyers” (ibid.: 20).

• China: When a prisoner escapes from a prison in a populated area, wardens are alerted by text message and then images of the escapee are distributed by multimedia messaging to local residents so as not to scare them with a siren (ibid.: 28).
