Notes:
Pages 243-262 in Benjamin M. Compaine (ed.), The digital divide: facing a crisis or creating a myth? MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts. 357 pages., Author suggests that the digital divide may be disappearing on its own through declining cost, natural acculturation and growing availability. Observes that the lower cost of living in rural areas may more than compensate for having to pay higher rates closer to full cost of telecommunications.
"While the net may provide a new medium for dissent and opposition, its impact is offset by two principal factors." Factors cited include the digital divide and growing commercialism.
