Notes de l'éditeur
It’s about PEOPLE - Catherine was supported in her own home. UK online centres funded programme delivered in Leeds by Leeds Age Concern.
In October Martha Lane Fox and PWC produced an excellent document “The Economic Case for Digital Inclusion” which looked at the digital dividend if more people could get online. For example the poorest households can save almost £300 a year by being online and the Government could save £900m a year if all the digital excluded just made one contact a month online
