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.
Discusses Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) in terms of skirting regulations and taxes that traditional telephone companies must comply with and pay. Users do not have to pay into the Universal Service Fund, which subsidizes telephone service in rural areas.
