I wish you all the luck with potential sponsors because I have found 
it so difficult - maybe because my site deals with civil liberties 
issues and therefore it does not attract any sponsors. I still can't 
afford a domain name and a proper server costs for example. But your 
case might slightly be different.

I do not think that sponsorship would give more independence. If your 
site gets sponsored by the DTI it may look like you are involved with 
the DTI  (with all the respect to our friends from the DTI).
