Internet Access For Everybody By 2008
Posted: 17th Dec, 2003 By: MarkJ
The governments e-Minister, Patricia Hewitt, while touting the many merits of the UKs online economy, has stated that every home in the UK should "have a connection to online services" by 2008:
Well, it seems there's no need to worry after all. And if you aren't already connected, fear not: "The Digital Inclusion Panel will play a key role in helping us ensure that every home in the UK should have a connection to online services through a digital network by 2008 - whether through a personal computer, DTV, mobile phone or other device," boasts Hewitt.
Given that we're not talking specifically about broadband, surely this is already possible?
It's perhaps not so much a battle of technology, since a plain 'old' dialup modem would do, but more an issue of education.
We note the cunning inclusion of mobile phones, almost all of which will offer access to a digital network by then. More @ The Register.
