[Geowanking] UK document on OS funding

[Andrew Turner]

This report presents Communities and Local Government's plans for the
future of the National Interest Mapping Services Agreement (NIMSA)
beyond 2006.

"This document has just been published, effectively saying (I think)
that UK local governments will no longer provide funding to the
Ordnance Survey for 'non-economic' mapping, i.e. the complete map of
the British Isles to a high resolution. This was one of the
cornerstones of the OS' argument for their method of funding, and, in
some ways, of their existence."
