BACK ON COURSE: HOW FREENETS CAN HELP TO STEER COMMUNITY
TELEVISION TOWARDS ITS ORIGINAL VISION
By: Darin Cosgrove
ABSTRACT:
Critics of Canadian community access television argue that it has
failed to live up to its original vision -- that it is not used by
the people it was intended for as a democratizing form of citizen
communication. This paper looks at reasons why that is so, and ways
in which community computer systems (FreeNets) -- the latest
democratizing form of citizen communication -- can help to steer
public access television back towards its original goals.

Also, our listserv administrator tells me that some folks have had
problems retrieving the Internet broadcast resources list. Here's what he
has to say on the subject:

So, folks, leave off that trailing period on the file name.
Bye for now.
