This article describes an empirical study of the current level and type of state and local public activity on the World Wide Web (WWW), providing some important baseline information on government activities in this area. Moving governments onto the WWW represents a paradigm shift in the use of technology, and some governments are moving faster and are becoming more innovative than others. Governments are clearly becoming "cyberactive" but are emphasizing information and services for business and other economic development activities rather than dissemination of policy information, encouraging policy discussions, or delivering public services.

The Internet is becoming more integral to governments and their modes of doing business and delivering services. This is creating a new imperative to address the digital divide. In Australia, as shown in this article, citizens who are the biggest users of government services are the least likely to be connected to the internet. What can be done to connect the unconnected? The article explores what has been learned from some of the Australian initiatives for connecting the unconnected to online government services. It concludes that greater attention to community-based human capital development is needed. It gives examples of factors needed for success in building socially marginalized communities' interest, enthusiasm and capacity to interact and communicate via online technologies, thereby contributing to how successful e-government can be in delivering gains in efficiency and improved services.

Mechanisms allowing the public to access, and contribute to, government services must be incorporated in the e-government process from the very beginning. Government organisations must also change to be able to properly use new technology and transform government in ways that use that technology to enhance governance and citizenship.

Many studies have investigated the factors contribute to E-Government adoption and introduced several models of E-Government maturity stages or levels, but less has focus on the E-Government adoption at different stages of service maturity. Therefore, this study tries to discovers the critical factors that contribute to Malaysian citizens' adoption of E-Government websites or services at different stages of service maturity. The method of quantitative through survey was used and the result of this study shown that all respondents have experienced in using E-Government websites or services, thus contributed to the positive adoption of static and interaction stage of E-Government. The result demonstrates that Perceived Awareness, Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Functional Benefit have significant impact on the Static and Interaction Stage. However, most of the respondents positively responded the static stage application of E-Government websites or services compared to interaction stage. Hence, many initiatives should be done by the government to help public easy to access it services. In future research, perhaps many researchers will extend the into wider scope of variables, methods and area and reflect the digital government as highlighted in national agenda.

E-government is about transforming the way government interacts with the governed. The process is neither quick nor simple. The success of e-government requires fundamentally changing how government works and how people view the ways in which government helps them Governments have different strategies to build e-government. Some have created comprehensive long-term plans. Others have opted to identify just a few key areas as the focus of early projects. In all cases, however, the countries identified as most successful have begun with smaller projects in phases on which to build a structure.

E-government is the challenge for European Governments, to simplify, accelerate and improve, the delivery of the governmental circle services and facilities to the citizen. According to Lisbon's Ministerial Meeting, EU group of policies and initiatives, known as E-Europe, among other policies and priorities for the Information Society, gives emphasis on Government online: ensures that citizens have easy access to government information, services and decision-making procedures online. The big issue for e-government is to use ICT to develop efficient services for European citizens and services. In particular: Develop Internet-based services to improve public access to information and public services. Improve public administration transparency through Internet and ensure citizens have access to essential public data to allow them to take part in the decision-making process. Ensure that electronic technology is fully used within public administration, with secure software and usage of secure layers in order to guarantee and reach some security standards. E-government refers to electronic access to government information and services. E-government idea includes fast and improved citizen service from a quantitative and qualitative point of view, as well as the restructuring and reengineering of the providing organization and its services, through the increased usage and exploitation of the capabilities of the information and communication technologies and especially through the facilities and services of the Internet. The escalation of the e-government services begins from the easy dissemination and easy access from the citizen to the governmental information and passes through the electronic transactions between the citizen and the public organization and reaches to the electronic delivery of the requested document by the public organization to the citizen. An obvious prerequisite, in order to support the above "layers" of the e-government services is the development of an electronic infrastructure which is able to support e-protocol, e-applications / e-petitions and internal organizational function of the public organization. In addressing the above content, this manuscript presents an e-government structure which supports and provides the above described "layers" of the e-government services. This e-government structure, which introduces the notion and practicalities of electronic technology into the various dimensions and ramifications of government, has been developed by Net Media Lab of N.C.S.R. "Demokritos" for a Hellenic Public Organization, in order, the latter, to provide public information dissemination, accept electronic document submission and handle them via e-protocol, and support all the operations via the appropriate electronic structure which supports easy communication among the organization's departments as well as robust and user-friendly document management, storage, search, retrieval, handling and delivery.
