Here are some interesting articles/reports about internet usage and 
access that I've come across on other lists this weekend.

1. Connected to the Future: A Report on Children's Internet Use, by 
the Corporation for Public Broadcasting

"New Report from CPB Shows Surge in Internet Use Among Underserved 
Children, Study Finds Parents an Important Influence on Children's 
Internet Use"

2. From Michael Gilbert's Nonprofit Online News http://news.gilbert.org/

"The Mercury News covers how, drawing on techniques pioneered in 
Seattle during the WTO meetings, protesters against the war use the 
internet and wireless in real time."

3. Also from Nonprofit Online News:

"Thursday, March 20, 2003:

I am very impressed. The United Way will be providing wireless 
internet access to poor West Philadelphia neighborhoods. This is 
precisely the kind of bottom up initiative that will nurture many 
other empowerment efforts. I'll be following this one closely."
