Abstract

This chapter presents the Access Rainbow, a seven-layer conceptual model of access to the information/communications infrastructure intended to strengthen public interest perspectives in current information highway policy discussions. In particular, it aims to provide the basis for a workable definition of universal access and point to concrete steps for achieving this ideal.
