Re: Question about Internet access for educators

[Mark W Gordon <mgordon@EIS.CALSTATE.EDU>]

I guess, in the end, the $5.00 or $25.00 per year access fee for our
personal accounts doesn't seem unreasonable. The much bigger problem is
student and family accounts.  If the Internet and the Virtual Library
that moves through it is to achieve its potential, some means must be
found to provide univeral access.   Maybe one day soon, along with per
capita textbook allocations, states will provide a per capita Internet
access allocation. But what about non students?
