<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You may be interested in the Ennis Town project in
Ireland. The local telecoms company have begun wiring up the whole town. I don't
know what analysis has been done on the impact on the community but it might be
worth a look. Try <A

<DIV><FONT size=1>Hi everyone.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1>I would appreciate any help members of the list can provide
regarding studies of locally computer networked communities. Can anyone point
me to references that cover the impact of networking such communities (for
instance placing networked computers in peoples homes who all live on the same
street)? I am particularly interested in that work that looks at the social
capital that such initiatives produce. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1>Would any members have similar references regarding the
local networking of people with various disabilities?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=1>Thanks in advance for any help members can provide.
</FONT></DIV>
