Jochen and Frank- I have some detailed stats about Internet usage in Europe that were most telling. I'll post later after I dig them up. They are in my 10 hour flying time reading materials stack.

But I believe the comments by Gates, Case, and Dyson, were construed as Frank mentions. Not that the citzenry doesn't get it, but the political system and it's intertwining with the telecom monopolies. Although I have to say, Dyson did kind of/sort of direct her comments as meaning the, "people." But I probably shouldn't speak for her. Sorry if I did.

In the European edition of Newsweek, I did read a very good article on how Sweden has pulled themselves out of the economic morass they were in a few years back. Now it's the hotbed of high tech in Euroland. Very much like Silicon Valley is to the US. And the other European exception, I feel, is the Netherlands. They are very much taking the lead in expanding the Internet infrastructure for their citizens and Euroland.

But the rest of the members of the EU appear to be tied up in monopolies/politics and this hinders the development of the Internet. I believe Italy is the biggest laggard in Internet usage. But like Frank said, it's certainly not a race. The World Economic Forum was simply cautioning Europe that the importance of the Internet to a healthy economy cannot be overlooked. --MikeM(From Florida)
