  • Abstract
    Worldwide efforts to mitigate the digital divide between technology-haves and have-nots have moved forward in recent months. From small projects that are flourishing with donated equipment and nascent agreements with local telecommunications providers to a proposal to distribute 100 million to 200 million new laptops to schoolchildren in developing nations within two years, a new sense of possibility is enlivening the Internet community.
