But is is also essential that those who are on the wrong side of the digital
divide get equality of treatment - they are not disadvantaged by the service
providers.  This may increase costs because it requires dual systems.

Hi,
I'm reluctant to post updates on the digital divide, as it's a massive topic
that can swamp discussions about e-democracy, however I thought this was
interesting and worth sharing
http://www.egovmonitor.com/node/18216
Helen Milner (Managing Director, UK Online Centres) highlights the importance
of digital inclusion as she discusses a recent report from the UK Online
Centres which found that 2.6 billion can be saved by the British Economy if we
could bridge the digital divide.

The research report is here
