  by Göran Lindblad and Per Bill (Moderaterna)
• Party Motion to the Swedish Riksdag 1999/2000:m510 BSG
  by Bo Lundgren et al. (Moderaterna)
  
• Motion to the Swedish Riksdag 1999/2000:N296 By Per Rosengren (Vänstern)

Excerpt from one of them:

The venture capital debate has been going on for a longer time in Sweden. In most cases it has been about various ways of easing taxes, such as abolishing the so called double taxation. But we have lacked a strategy for securing the development of modern technology and benefiting from the knowledge within groups that have not caught been focused on by the debate. (snip)

The researcher David Nordfors has together with Orren Shalit described the Israeli Technological Incubator model. (snip)

The Riksdag should suggest the government to introduce a support mechanism for new high-tech companies according to the Israeli model.

DI Debatt Teracom.jpg
Originally uploaded by david_nordfors

Dagens Industri October 2 1996. Göran Arvedahl, Executive Vice President of Teracom replies Brunell and Nordfors on Internet vs digital TV discussion.

Brunell and Nordfors attacked in an earlier op-ed the Swedish government proposal for a national terrestrial digital TV network, claiming the government should put emphasis on developing Internet networking competence in Sweden, instead of building new TV networks on which it can control the content.

Arvedahl, VP of Teracom, the government owned company that was designed to own the terestrial digital TV network, answers: Brunell and Nordfors have misunderstood. The digital TV network is what people need. Will also carry the Internet.
