To think about
Even in a developed, socialist, country such a Sweden, the Digital Divide is a present social concern distancing natives and no-natives, upper and lower-income classes.
How is the Digital Divide to be bridged? Business sector has shown little, if any, interest; public sector is burdened by budget-deficits; individual private initiative?
