Hello, I am a student in Dr. Gurstein's University of Alberta course on Community Informatics. I am doing a research paper analyzing the policy differences between the New Zealand Digital strategy (2005) and Australia's NBN initiative. I'm looking for any research that has been done on the 'community' impact of these strategies, if anyone on the list has any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it.

Many thanks,
