- Abstract
- The opportunities access to information can bring have never been, and are unlikely to be, distributed evenly. Access to the range of new information technologies that can really empower and liberate people still looks set to be the preserve of an affluent minority. Concludes that, unless the uneconomic sharing of all kinds of information becomes commonplace this discrepancy could occur to such an extent in the future that it will become impossible for inhabitants of info rich and info poor countries to communicate or transact with each other using the same assumptions
