Another argument that I also hear a lot when I speak about Government 2.0 with government officials is: We can't rely on third party providers.

From their blog "The Internet Archive and founding companies announce today [nov 11, 2009] the launch of 301Works.org, a service to archive shortened Universal Resource Locators (URLs). This will enable redirect services to incorporate these shortened URLs when a member company ceases business activities."
