Title

Whose Internet is it anyway? : a challenge

Source

Online. 16(1992) no.4, S.6-7

Year

1992

Abstract

Challenges the commonly accepted assumption: that Internet was designed solely for academic and research users; and that if other people are allowed to use it, the NREN will be as bad as Internet is claimed to be at present: with insufficient bandwidth and poor response times. Argues that when the NREN come online, the money to build it will come from the taxpayer. Proposes that there should be a national movement to develop free public access computerised community information systems analogous to the 19th century movement to develop free public libraries
