This Nation stands on the threshold of one of the greatest opportunities in its history, the opportunity to seize the boundless benefits of the Information Age for its people.
Equality of opportunity is a fundamental tenet of American democracy.
Every individual in this country should have the opportunity to participate on the Information Superhighway by the year 2000. The Council calls on leaders and individuals in all communities of America to pick up the challenge, to seize the opportunity, and to move rapidly and responsibly forward to use, access, and operate the Information Superhighway. Leadership at every level, particularly at the community level, is what will ensure that the Nation meets the goal. The Council offers this guide to help community leaders launch KickStart Initiatives to connect schools, libraries, and community centers to the Superhighway. The Council shares that vision.
