APARTHEID INFORMATIQUE [1 record]

Record 1 1995-06-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Information Processing (Informatics)
CONT

Today's information roads charge tolls, sometimes hefty ones, that effectively bar many of those who manage to buy a second-hand computer. Telecommunications companies tend to place the new information networks in more affluent communities, bypassing... poorer rural and inner-city areas. This separating-out process is called "information apartheid."

CONT

A coalition of consumers, poverty and religious groups petitioned the Federal Communications Commission ... to ban "electronic redlining", a term derived from the banking practice of refusing loans to people and businesses in areas considered ghettos.
