Editorial Reviews

Eleven contributions discuss broadband or high-speed internet access; the gap between those Americans who have access to telecommunications technologies and those who do not; China's internet industry; the complexities of estimating internet and electronic commerce growth; the size of the internet; demographic information; the sale of firearms over the internet; cyber- and information warfare; and cyberterrorism. Inexplicably (and inexcusably), the book contains no information about the authors or the editor. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
