From the Paper:

"With these advances in computing hardware and software, the internet has grown and transformed the world of communications and will eventually change the way commerce and business are conducted. An example of how things have changed: my nephew attends a local London elementary school and he has a pen-pal in an elementary school in India. Their email letters, after being converted to the infamous zero's and ones and then converted into internet ready information packets, take only seconds to travel the thousands of miles that physically separates the children. Email has revolutionized communications."
