From: Cyberidentities
$2.10
Universal access to affordable technologies is at the heart of communication scholars’ thinking about democracy and empowerment. It is what gives cultural communities the power to represent themselves to others. It is what enables the voices of minorities to be heard, after long and worthwhile struggle for the implementation of their communication rights. The many stories of the struggle for universal access make it clear that neither media technology nor policy makers are politically innocent.
