Pros
Pro Nationwide free access to Wi-Fi
Pro National ID Scheme
Estonia's national ID scheme offers the Utopia most geeks wish for. One card can be used to identify you across the majority of the country's services. The implementation has taken the end citizen into account, ensuring that they feel this technology enriches their lives as opposed to being an onymous Orwellian dictate.
- The scheme is optional & opt-in.
- One ID across all government systems.
- Integration with public services (i.e. schools, transport, hospitals)
- Minimum information requests ("Is this person over 18?" vs "How old is this person?"
- International federation (i.e. allowing those from other countries access to this technology)
