Would they not potentially be bound by NDAs if the government are involved? Just a thought...
Exactly we've had several trials over the last year and the company haven't bothered to report on any which says a lot really. I'd also suggest that the UK govt is likely to go with something proven that can deal with similar volumes like the one the Danes are using. It's a massive jump to go from Badminton England to 40 million + people.
"Passports are here and CTEA has the solution and is the ONLY listed company out there to provide the level of quality standard a fully GDPR tested and trialled app can."
JAdam. You make many good points, but where is your evidence for your statement that CTEA is the "ONLY" vaccine passport app that is "fully GDPR tested and trialled app".
Every app that collects any personal information in the UK has to be GDPR compliant. It is not difficult technologically to be GDPR compliant, so there is zero advantage for CTEA over competitors by stating they are GDPR compliant - they all are!
Secondly, where is your evidence that the CTEA app is "fully tested and trialled". CTEA have not reported back the results of any trial that they have RNS'd about. And those trials were on their previous pre-vaccine app anyway.
Finally, you have mentioned several times that a huge advantage of the CTEA app is that it used blockchain. I have also stated a few times that in my view blockchain is not necessary for an app like this. That is backed up by the Denmark app, the EEC app, and all the International Travel apps (IATA etc). None use blockchain, and all are currently being tested in a live environment or already being used.
We will see a rise, just scared investor who have sold.

HOLD and GLA
Denmark are kicking off the use of an app this week, Spain are looking to implement one to reignite their tourism industry and various articles i've seen suggest Europe will follow. It makes complete sense and gives people confidence to choose from a range of activities that have been heavily restricted in the knowledge they will be safe. The UK had a major economic advantage on Europe with early vaccinations but that will dissolve pretty quickly if we don't keep pace with a covid pass. I don't understand why Boris is delaying on this one and as you say JA CTEA are perfectly placed to support the roll out.
I personally feel that the argument of infringement on privacy isn't significant enough to not introduce a covid pass. The idea is simply to state what your status is with regards to the virus to keep others safe and prevent the transmission of the virus. Your personal details are secured and not passed on to anyone, the app absolutely has to be GDPR compliant. I really don't want to be at a big event with individuals that have the virus. And if there is a simple cost effective way of limiting and reducing contact between those that have been vaccinated, have antibodies or show a negative test and those that have the virus then why wouldn't you implement it?
People are aware, but I fail to see how one infringement of someone's privacy legitimises another. One could describe it as the salami-slicing of liberty; small incremental infringements that are brushed off by people like you who see them as insignificant. On their own these changes are small, but in aggregate they are gigantic.
Very interesting when you scroll down to the comments. People are convinced that a Covid pass is the incarnation of Big Brother-style intrusion into privacy. Are they not aware of how their mobile phones/Alexa devices already spy on them, monitor their movements and conversations? Wake up and smell the coffee, this is minuscule in the scheme of things.
