A new report has found that, ten years after Congress passed a law requiring federal agencies to make their public data available on the Internet, most have failed to do so sufficiently. (Note: "File Not Found" is the name of the report, not an error message. It confused us too.)

The thinking behind the original law, the report states, was in part to save fees on Freedom of Information Act requests.
