My section of this blog will investigate inequality in Internet access. Why study the Internet? Well, I’ve long been interested in the Internet–especially as a technology of empowerment and resistance. Lately, though, I have been asking myself about the actual potential of the ‘Net. Will it enable the oppressed to coordinate their fights? Will it increase transparency in government and reduce corruption, exploitation, and all those other bad -tions? Or will it devolve into interactive television? Is it no more than interactive television now?! I don’t think so; I hope not; this blog is not for naught!
