Thanks for posting the INformation Society Trends report. I inadvertently deleted mine from my email as I swept through the junk.
I was pleased with the UK Internet for schools announcement.

<<<Oftel, the UK telecoms watchdog, has approved plans by the leading UK telecoms operator BT to provide all of Britain's 32,000 schools with high-speed digital access to the Internet by the year 2000. At present, only 6,000 schools have access to the Internet.

As for the UK government, it has pledged to invest 140 million Ecu in updating computers and software in UK schools as part of its plans to establish by 2002 the National Grid for Learning, a nation-wide network connecting all schools, universities and libraries, and providing teaching material and teacher aid. >>>
