The paper aims to investigate e-Local government policy in terms of regional information technology (IT) industry's promotion. The research is based on statistical analyses and some case studies of some Japanese local government policy and some regional IT firms. The author firstly estimates the impact of government procurement on a regional IT service industry based on Japanese statistics. One analysis shows that the weight of government procurement in demand for IT service industry in rural area is more than that in urban area. Government procurement plays more important role for regional IT service industry in rural area than urban area. The other analysis shows that more than 40 percent of local government expenditure for IT service industry flows from rural area to urban area. The latter analysis suggests that some expenditure of e-local government in rural area could flow back to its own area's IT service industry. The author secondly investigates potential of regional IT industry as suppliers. The statistical analysis regarding Local Government WAN Application Service Provider, LGWANASP, shows that not only major IT vender but also regional IT vender plays an important role. Furthermore, a case study of an independent regional IT vender shows that open system movement in e-Local government could be an opportunity to break into new e-Local government market. The research thirdly focuses on Nagasaki-IT-Model. The unique model has been conducted by Nagasaki prefecture since 2002. The paper depicts the characteristics of the model and the impact of the model on regional IT industry. The research fourthly investigates the procurement capability of a local government based on case studies about Chiyoda Ward office, Tokyo metropolitan, and Kawaguchi City office, Saitama Prefecture. The analyses show that improvement of the capability needs participations of not only IT section but also general business section of the city office.
