The TerrainAccess is a political as well as a design issue and the political problematics of access, alone, are huge. The Internet will be, not just the place where information is shaped and distributed, a place of commercial or social exchange, but a key player in capital flow and in the way we are governed.Access to this "marketplace" is the key issue in World Wide Web development. Currently, the distribution of access to the Internet is uneven and exclusive. If one lives in the biggest cities of the most populous states of the world's wealthiest nations, speaks English and is employed by government or multinational institutions, then one is likely to have the privilege of easy access.
