Consumer groups: Bush misinterprets digital divide
- - - - - - - - - - - -
By D. IAN HOPPER
May 30, 2002 | WASHINGTON (AP) --
The Bush administration is wrong to declare that the digital divide is
narrowing and should focus on expanding Internet access for the poor and
less educated in their homes, leading consumer groups said Thursday.
They contend the administration is misinterpreting a recent study on the
topic by looking at Internet access at work and in schools, rather than
concentrating in homes where most families use the Internet and the gap is
greatest.
"The administration's claim that we no longer need policies to close the gap
is simply wrong," said Chris Murray of the Consumers Union, which released
an analysis with the Consumer Federation of America and Civil Rights Forum.

This is in reference to the question about debate rules. One excellent
resource is the site operated by the National Forensic League. The address
is http://debate.uvm.edu/NFL/nflhome.html. When you've reached this point,
follow the link to debate and you'll find much of help.
