>* UNDP REPORT EXAMINES THE GLOBAL INTERNET COMMUNITY
>In its 1999 Human Development Report, the United Nations
>Development Programme (UNDP) examines global access to new
>technologies. The report finds the Internet community to be
>elitist by nature, with income, education, gender, and
>geography as the major dividing lines. The result is a two-
>tier technology society: one segment enjoying access to
>plentiful information at low cost and high speed, the other
>impeded by time, cost, uncertainty of connection and
>outdated information.
>
>The report outlines seven goals that must be reached to
>achieve an information society. In addition, it provides
>estimates of the percentage of various global populations
>currently using the Internet. This highlights the United
>States as having the majority of Internet users, with 26.3%
>of its population online. You may read the full report in
>PDF format at the UNDP Web site
