As part of its ongoing commitment to exploring new ways of promoting digital
opportunity for all people, the Benton Foundation's Digital Divide Network
(www.digitaldividenetwork.org) would like to invite you to join the
DIGITALDIVIDE discussion group. DIGITALDIVIDE is a moderated discussion in
which citizens can discuss the wide range of issues related to bridging the
digital divide. The listserv, which currently includes over 3300 members
from over 80 countries, cuts across disciplinary boundaries: community
activists, educators, researchers, representatives of commercial and
nonprofit enterprises, volunteers, students and concerned citizens are all
encouraged to take part in this online discussion.

The listserv tackles the digital divide from a variety of angles that
include (but are not limited to) the following subjects:

-    Internet access issues;
-    content creation for underserved populations and communities;
-    combating illiteracy in its many forms;
-    online diversity;
-    economic development and workforce issues;
-    public policy issues;
-    community building;
-    technology accessibility and the disabled;
-    the Internet and cultural diversity;
-    digital divide news and events;
-    education and training;
-    best practices from local, national and international digital divide
efforts;
-    obstacles to bridging the digital divide;
-    new tools for measuring the divide;
-    public/private and commercial/nonprofit partnerships



DIGITALDIVIDE is moderated by veteran listserv facilitator Andy Carvin,
Senior Associate at the Benton Foundation.
