Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Current estimates suggest that by the year 2000 some 200 million users will be logged on to the Internet worldwide. But this is not a passive medium for the user simply to observe. Each individual has the opportunity to establish their own presence on the Net. Unless prevented from doing so, either by technological control or regulation, the individual is free to access and publish what they like.
