Preparing Canada for a digital world : final report of the Information Highway Advisory Council.: C2-229/9-1997E-PDF

"In relation to the Information Highway, the most dramatic development in the past two years has been the continuing, exponential growth of the Internet, both here in Canada and around the world. Our efforts over the past year have focused on this phenomenon and its meaning for the Information Highway. Within this broader context, we have been asked to provide specific advice on five Information Highway issues, and we struck steering committees to address each of them: economic growth, the Internet access, Canadian context, and learning and the workplace. Over the course of four meetings between June 1996 and April 1997 and at many teleconferences and steering committee meetings, we wrestled with these five issues to provide clear, practical advice to policy makers"--Page xii.
