... an electronic highway system, as varied in its capacity and uses as is our national system of roads : a network for all of us to use in seeking vital information, government services, community participation, health care, police protection, education material, entertainment, even home shopping and banking services, allowing us to strengthen our common values and national identity [Honourable Perrin Beatty, Minister of Communications at the Vancouver INTERCOM conference, on February 23, 1993]. 12, record 4, English, - information%20highway

The term "Infobahn" is a German borrowing frequently used in the Canadian and American press. It has recently undergone a semantic shift to mean "a high speed computer network" (CAOXD, 1998). The term "electronic highway" comes to information technology from the field of road transportation where it refers to an electronically-controlled highway (traffic flow and user security). 12, record 4, English, - information%20highway
