My reply to this is that there needs to be shared responsibility on both 
sides.  If ISP's (Internet Service Providers) can give a break on access, 
the receivers should be willing to train their users.  There also needs 
to be dialog between the suppliers and users to see that the needs of the 
education community are being met.  My experience from ISP's is that they want
to know how we can use our Internet access successfully in education.  They
want to supply us with what we need.
