> The British government's prestigious gateway
> http://www.gateway.gov.uk/ security system only lets users
> perform transactions when using IE. Opera challenges the
> UK government to support World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
> standards and let British citizens enjoy full access to the
> Web from different browsers, platforms and devices.
>
> In the future, British users might even find that they
> can't access the gateway, because wireless devices'
> manufacturers increasingly are choosing other browsers than
> IE. The British wireless consortium Symbian is an example
> of a future leading platform not running IE.
>
> Opera's CTO, Håkon Lie, is currently in contact with the
> assistant to UK's e-envoy, Andrew Pinder. Pinder's office
> is responsible for the commissioning of the site,
> gateway.gov.uk.

I don't know whether that link was the one quoted previously.
Cheers,
