The New York Times (registration required) has an article detailing an international call for open standards similar to the recent proposal in Massachusetts:
"The 33-page report is a road map for creating national policies on open technology standards, and comes at a time when several countries - and some state governments - are pursuing plans to reduce their dependence on proprietary software makers, notably Microsoft, by using more free, open-source software."
