Sender: •••@••.••• (Michael Boyle) Hello everyone, The final report of the Information Highway Advisory Council, the group given the task of looking in to issues surrounding electronic communications here in Canada, was released yesterday. The document was released simultaneously live and on the net at 8:30 am, Wednesday September 27, 1995. If you're interested, you can find the document at the following URL: http://info.ic.gc.ca/info-highway/final.report/eng/ I you are interested in the process or other documents produced by this group, look around a bit more, perhaps starting with simply: http://info.ic.gc.ca/info-highway/ I'm writing an article for a local paper and preparing some notes for a grad seminar I'm taking, so perhaps (if they are the least bit coherent!) I will post something to the list about their recommendations in a week or so. It is a fascinating document, imbued with a deeply Canadian view of technology and citizenship, one which Americans will find quaint on one hand but somewhat sophisticated on the other. Maybe. But Canada is one of the few countries in the world that is as (or more) "wired" as (than) the US, so I think their efforts are significant to those of us who are interested in such things. Enjoy, Michael "Don't hate the media.
