OK, good morning again!  Here's the second panel description.  What do 
you think?  Do we have it right?  What's missing?  What do you want to 
ask a particular panelist?  Don't forget:  Be sure to include a Cc: to

"A link into every home": How, What and When?

President Clinton has called for "a link into every home," but how will
policy makers ensure that it hapw-income and rural areas? Will it reach
community centers such as schools, clinics and libraries?  And what will
you be able to do with that link when it gets there?  Will all of us be
able to speak and provide information as well as consume it?  How will a
diversity of voices be supported?  What policies must be in place to
guarantee that the NII does not merely provide more benefits for the
affluent and more hurdles for the poor?  Which of its many possible
services should be universal? 

Here's the panelists:
