Topic: Information Infrastructure

Headline: Government-Funded Access Points

Nutshell: Internet providers fold as governments around the globe adopt public-access points.

Using various wireless technologies, public centers open around the globe; providing free high-speed internet connections. Large IP’s either switch completely to content service or fold.
