Government - Realtime Information

I recently met a gentleman who works for the government and seem to have inside information about why a government doesn't care about real-time information. But what he ended telling me was something just the opposite.

He said that he was a part of a project during the Chandrababu Naidu period. It seems CB actually had real-time departmental information coming for guess what????!!!

When he makes his rounds to the constituencies where he is weak, he will get onto his 'exec dashboard' finds out how much revenue is generated during that weak so that he can determine how much money he can spend and announce monetary aid etc

That, I felt, was a cool thing.

But according to him that has not brought AP or for CB himself any mileage except some IT companies getting setup.

I still think that had it not been for CB, Hyderabad might have been another Lucknow or Bhopal.

Can you guys think of any use of real-time information for Government??
